But wh ie ccarnec to the more d1îifcuit part, he threw up hîs hand;s in m1ock ,ýdespair. "Thats it,"ilie shouted. "Thats al î know.

The remainder of' the Sonata boomed out fromn the Clavînova through stereo speakers- There's nothing too unusual about that. t could have been. pre.-recorded. But heres the twist: Methodically reading fromr the musical score. Lorenz, had punched the whole Sonata into the computer, every note, the length of the noteý, thle velocity, was entered one by one. Th,-rough a sophisticated process, alh of it was relayed from Lthe IBM compatible comiputer to the Clavinova. E ven more remnarkable is that Hermann has put together over 50 classical selections in this way. HAis most massive job was transposing Beethoven's 5th concerto in its entLirety. Working six hours a day, it took him four months to complete the task! Needclless to say, lie works at a snail's pace. Note by note, every detail of the lengthy scores are entered into the computer. When he completes the selection, he retains it on a floppy disc. Over the years, he's written out more than 1,500 individual bars of music from lus large collection of classical scores.. So, although fies flot on the podium, this maestro can produce the world's great music as the man behind the scenes. He may flot be able to play it, but fie sure knows the score, Mark M.
