Aha! There's a lot going on right now. Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Uh oh?

I'm really excited that you've made the score available for download for these pieces. Thank you!

Ah yes. It does have quite the eerie feel about it, doesn't it?

Yay! That's exactly how I feel as well. We did go with putting Mélanie in the program. We live a rural area of Virginia so there's very little chance that someone will have heard of Mel Bonis and get confused or irritated that we're not using her publishing name.

And yes, I am very well known among my friends and family for overthinking things.

Piece in question is her flute sonata.

I realize this is going to sound very bizarre, but I've played and performed much of her music now and I've done some reading about her life and she doesn't strike me much as a "Mel." If she were alive today & could have published under Mélanie, would she?

Thank you! I was so intimidated to get started so I played through a whole bunch of Mozart cadenzas which helped. We'll see how it goes in the end!
