  5. Steps • Thinking • (Ripping) • Tapping • Pasting • Charting • Thinking

  6. Thinking • Purpose • Extract • Beat • Chart • Commentary

  7. (Ripping) • Rip • from CD: FreeRIP • from DVD: DVD Audio to CD • save as .WAV • Extract • Audacity • import audio

  8. Tapping • Accuracy • +/- 0.06 s (Cook 114, Bowen 130) • error not culmulative • broad tempo shape discernible • Test/Rehearse • MetroMon: plays any frequency • ArBPM Beat counter: counts beats per minute • Timing: logs the times at which each tap occurs

  9. Tapping and log with TIMING.exe • Enter the output filename • “*.txt” (file located in the directory where “Timing.exe” is installed) • or complete path, e.g. “c:\*.txt” • First press of <return> starts program running” [if beginning of piece skip first beat!] • “timing started” • Subsequent <return> are timed • Press <e> <return> to stop • Repeat twice for average

  10. Pasting into Excel • Copying • open “*.txt” file • <ctrl>+a • <ctrl>+c • Pasting • open “*.xls” file • go to the “time” field • <ctrl>+v • labeling and baring

  11. Charting with Excel • from absolute time to interval • average interval • from interval to MM • chart wizard • scaling • fine-tuning

  12. Exercise(Beethoven 9th, Movt I, mm. 180–198, 198–216) • re. Cook 1995, 111 (Fig. 5.2); 114 (Fig. 5.5) • Furtwängler 1951 (EMI), 1953 (DG) • Toscanini 1939 (Naxos), 1948 (NBC DVD), 1952 (RCA) CY • Karajan 1962 (DG), 1977 (DG), 1983 (Sony DVD) TC • Bernstein 1964 (Sony), 1979 (DG), 1989 (DG DVD) YT • Jochum 1969 (DG), 1979 (EMI) • Masur 1974 (Philips), 1990/91 (Philips) • Abbado 1986 (DG), 1996 (DVD), 2000 (DG) KT • ….
