• Fiorella e Armando Orlandi
  are kind and assidious correspondents, and, moreover, talented creators of midi files. Thank you to them for entrusting me with their creations, and for being willing to continue on works which I lack.

• Gerd Prengel
  has worked hard on the drafts left by Beethoven, and notably on the 10th symphony.
  Don't hesitate to visit his website http://members.aol.com/prengel96/ and the site Unheard Beethoven for rarely heard, or fragmented works.
  Thank you for this remarkable work!

• Oliver Seely
  is a clarinet player. He has realised many midi files of works by Beethoven and other composers, mainly works for wind instruments: http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/clarmusi/clarmusi.htm. Congratulations for this great work and many thanks.

• Pierre-Jean Chenevez
  created the very rare midi file of the Piano Trio opus 63.
  Many thanks Pierre-Jean.
