As you might have gathered, I'm rather fond of classical music. So my
classification and selection of Popular Music is not really what most people
would expect. In fact, I already had used the category Other, so I put the
remaining pieces into this category. You would not be wrong in assuming that
this is my category for music of lesser value. I like a lot of popular music
in the genres of rock, jazz, folk, even middle-of-the-road; there are good
sounds and melodies, but you should get a CD and listen to them. They don't
lend themselves to MIDI reproduction easily, and they rather lose in the tran-
scription to a formal score. Maybe that's because the musical depth in the
available arrangements is rather shallow.

The Beatles Complete is a well produced book, and a fairly comprehensive
collection of the Beatles' work. However, the arrangements are generally
weak; Yesterday is one of the better ones.

The are some arguable arpeggios in the left hand; I guess I used them because
MOZART provides them: much like the beginner uses rather too many type faces
because they are there.

October 2001: Re-written with MOZART 6, utilising the new features of
automatic symbols for arpeggios, chords, and lyrics.

Enjoy!
