Survey for final master's project: Use of legato by common notes in organ performance

[lcforganista]

Dear organ colleagues,

I’m conducting a short survey on the use of legato by common notes, a technique rooted in the French organ tradition and notably present in the music of Maurice Duruflé (composer whose music is the focus of my study). Your input means a lot for the completion of my research and final master’s project!

It only takes a few minutes — thank you so much for your time and insight!

Just FYI, the google doc you're using requires signing into a google account--that means your survey results will exclude anyone without a google account or who didn't take the time to create one. Or, more clearly, your survey results will only included google user responses.

lcforganista,

You can always make the document a fillable form (using Google Forms), and shared with anyone who has the link. Responses can be limited to one response per email address. I think you also need to allow respondents from outside your organization. Best with your research project!

Dear organ colleagues,

I'm not sure your survey questions are specific enough. Are you referring to common (repeated) notes in the same voice, or common notes across voices? They are treated differently in the French tradition.
