What to Write to Us About

Biber Music is run by enthusiasts rather than an institution, so the most useful messages are the ones that help us share Heinrich Biber's music more clearly. We are always glad to hear from listeners, students, performers and anyone who has stumbled onto the composer of the Mystery (Rosary) Sonatas and wants to know more.

Good reasons to get in touch

• Corrections and sources. If you spot an error in our biography or work descriptions, tell us what you found and, where possible, the book, edition or liner note it comes from. Biber scholarship continues to evolve, and careful readers keep a fan site honest.
• Recording suggestions. Know a performance of the violin sonatas, the Missa Salisburgensis or the Battalia that deserves wider attention? Mention the performers and label so we can consider it for our recordings notes.
• Local performances. Musicians and early-music groups in Nashville and the wider region are welcome to let us know about concerts that include Biber. We cannot sell or book tickets, but we may mention public events, with readers directed to the organisers for details.
• Questions about scordatura. Biber's unusual violin tunings puzzle many newcomers. We are happy to point you toward general explanations, though players should rely on a teacher or a good critical edition for practical guidance.

Helpful tips

Please keep messages concise and include a clear subject line. If you are asking about a specific piece, give its title or catalogue reference so we can find it quickly. We read everything, but as volunteers we cannot always reply promptly or answer requests for scores, copyrighted files or valuations of manuscripts and old editions; for those, a music library or specialist dealer is the right place to ask.
