From what I've gleaned from online research, the final performance of the waltz by Ivan Ditmars (who supposedly wrote the waltz) was dubbed in later after the episode was filmed. So, at the time of the filming, the final piece may not have even been written/selected/performed/recorded in time for its transcription to be incorporated into the filming. So, as a place-holder, they may have simply used the handwritten transcription of Brahm's Waltz No. 1 in B, figuring that since the scene that shows the transcription only lasts a couple of seconds and that few viewers would even be skeptical that it jibed with the music actually heard, it would pass muster. In 1969, there were no home videos of Star Trek TOS to pour over endlessly and to pause on these types of details. Even if Desilu knew ST-TOS would go into syndication reruns, viewers would still have had to wait until this episode rolled around and still would have had only those same couple of seconds to scan the music. We get to do the Monday Morning quarterbacking on these kinds of things!<br />Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411450268328894206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-62887816073204990222016-05-09T17:02:55.188-07:002016-05-09T17:02:55.188-07:00Yes, but why has no one put two-and-two together a...Yes, but why has no one put two-and-two together and realized that the manuscript that is shown on screen is actually Johannes Brahms' Waltz no. 1 in B Opus 39? Why go to the trouble of writing out a known Brahms waltz that any classical pianist could recognize on sight; rather than simply transcribing into manuscript the waltz by Ditmars? As Spock would say: "Fascinating ..."

You never know when web research yields something else!<br /><br />I think it would be thrilling to play that waltz for oneself, even if it's not authentic Brahms but at least it's authentic Star Trek!<br /><br />I'm a Trek fan from waaaaaay back, obviously!!

IT is rather difficult and tricky but so lovely. I really appreciate it. My name is Marco. I love that episode as well.The Babblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784806191277914003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-14114805094572275562013-05-08T12:25:23.840-07:002013-05-08T12:25:23.840-07:00The Babbler -- I have found an even better transcr...The Babbler -- I have found an even better transcription -- here is the URL: http://musescore.com/user/21689/scores/36973<br /><br />It's completely accurate, at least to my ear, and the score is there, too.
