Edward Guo: Mastermind Behind IMSLP | Classical Chats with Tiffany Poon

[@menevetsny]

If you remembered what finding scores like was before the internet you know the feeling of how it’s like a candy store today that some might take for granted.

[@jlinwinter]

wow cool! I've used IMSLP forever! great to put a face to the magic!!

[@bobk4402]

Just discovered this channel and I love it.. it's about classical music, but there's no music, so I can practice while I watch :D You're a very good and fun interviewer too, Tiffany!

[@TravelingCello]

Thank you for making this interview happen. It was incredible to hear about the workings and origins of IMSLP (subscriber and extreme user lol). Good job Edward Guo!!!! I look forward to future developments.

[@vivatmusica]

Brilliant interview - well done Tiffany for arranging this discussion with Edward and a fascinating insight into one of the most important resources for musicians today. Nice also to see an interview outdoors in green leafy England!

[@Hugo_4t]

Very interesting Tiffany and Edward! Thank you for sharing this beautiful interview.

[@HidekazuOki]

This is such a cool interview, Tiffany!!! Thanks for filming and sharing!!

[@RMPdude]

Thank you, Dude! You have provided an invaluable service to humanity. And Tiffany is amazing in her own right.

[@Baritocity]

Edward and his team are heroes for musicians and score studiers.

Thank you Mr. Edward Guo for IMSLP. I have been using it since the very beginning. Once again, Xiexie!

I believe the video at 42:06 is of Rubenstein (this plus Tchaikovsky's 1st by him was my first experience of classical music - or maybe Brendel's Schubert late sonatas and klavierstucke cd). Listen carefully to Tiffany sing the melody as she interviews. Compare with the Rubenstein video. You will see she has perfect pitch and a perfect musical memory. (A bit like Glazunov famously did). She is extraordinary. Apparently music loops in her head quite often. That happens to geniuses, I am told!

Great interview! Genuine enjoyable to watch 😊.

[@fhl60]

Great interview!🎉 I tell students I'm sleeping to make it easier for them to remember. 😅

[@wbiro]

What a life journey he had to take to get his dream going (good that he has a lot of life left!). Now, two things to look up: Nodame Cantabile and Grieg's Piano Concerto...

[@jannis11]

nice

[@tombufford136]

An insight to meet the people with the Passion and means to keep this part of Classical Music Alive. Thoughtful and enjoyable interview from Tiffany.

[@ral8452]

you guys need to work together, sounds like there is some synergy here ? no ?

[@hansheng654]

Tiffany is soo funny and awkward hahahhah

[@hansheng654]

What if we could digitalise musicians knowledge into AI like how a language model now holds entire human knowledge... Someone need train better models for music 😅

[@NoName-zn1sb]

There's something terribly wrong with your audio! Frequently there is a crashing noise or whooshing that is frighteningly startling. Please see what you can to to make it stop. Because if you can't, I'll not watch your videos any more. Thank you.

[@rharriszzz]

I did not hear anything wrong. The problem might be on your side? Perhaps you could say a bit about which browser or computer you were using?

[@rinardman]

@@rharriszzz The audio is fine for me, too, other than a little wind noise. This person made the exact same comment on Tiffany's previous Classical Chat with Sofia Ouyang, so if there is a problem it's with his/her device, not Tiffany's video.

[@onemanfran]

No issues on my end either, apart from occasional wind noise.

[@boltezt]

It's a pity the sound quality is terrible, because the interview itself is very worth it. But I agree, the audio spikes, blow-outs and especially the wind noise make this almost unlistenable. Don't interview guests outside in the wind without proper wind protection. The camera endlessly trying and failing to find its focus is also distracting. Sorry for the negativity Tiffany, you're doing a great service to all of us by just posting this, but the production could definitely use someone who takes care of the tech stuff, so you can focus on the interview.

[@James_Bowie]

Zero audio issue here. Any audio issues must be at the viewers' end.
