Hi Clarke,
clarke wrote:Hello, just wondering if anyone has a copy of the sheet music for Fnugg they would be willing to email me. I will not be using it for performance, I only want to see how the extended technique is notated for a school project. Thank you.
I will be the jerk first and then try to help you at the end of this email:
I posted this in another thread, but here it is again. Substitute words as you wish, but it covers what you are doing and the legalities.
1. It will be illegal for someone to copy/scan the music into a computer as this book is not in the Public Domain.
2. It will be illegal for that same person to send you the file through email as you have requested.
3. It will be illegal for you to receive and then print out the files.
4. It will be illegal for you to then use these printouts in your lesson.
Although you may be short on funds (aren't we all?), here are the people you would taking money away from by photocopying:
1. The publisher
2. The store you may have purchased the book from
3. The composer/arranger of the music
4. The distributor of music.
And one wonders why it is hard to make a living in music?
In the case of Fnugg, since Oystein is a member of the forum (
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=899" target="_blank" target="_blank) it might not be the best place to ask someone to email you a copy of his piece. I would try emailing Oystein here:

or if you are on Facebook, contacting him here:

or sending along a message via a private message on TubeNet via the link above.
Although you state it will not be used for performance, asking a Forum member to email a piece written by another Forum member is just not the right way to go about acquiring the information you need for this project.
With all that being said, I think some of us might be curious about the project when it is completed and might even enjoy checking it out!
