Summary

"Maria Carolina" (fragment) - composed by Antonio Lauro (publ. 1983). Format; ogg, 520KB

Performer: Dany Fariña, fellow computer scientist & guitarist. Recorded by AVM at our offices in Caracas on Nov. 27, 2006 on a HP-P4 + WinXP, using a headset microphone.

Detailed Information: My colleague Dany Fariña and myself are both guitar aficionados. We like to play the guitar in our spare time, and together decided to record fragments of several guitar pieces from Venezuelan composers so we could upload them to Wikimedia Commons to enrich some of the Wikepedia articles on them. So we sat together the afternoon of Nov. 27.... I used a low-grade microphone and fumbled with the controls of a MP3 recording program in a Hewlett-Packard Pentium 4 PC, while Dany played his guitar. I encoded it into ogg format afterwards. The recording is not very good, and again, it's only fragmentary. Composer Antonio Lauro has been deceased for 1/4 of a century; he never intended his compositions to be commercially exploited; his family has never collected a single Dollar from any royalties; and finally, his works are NOT copyrighted. The only copyrightS I know of are from sheet music publishers, which earn money for compositions that do not belong to them.
