Vintage Remington-Mark II

By Daisy on May 31, 2026 6:12 pm

This is about all the years I typed on a Manual typewriter.   The piece starts in C Major, with me rolling the paper into the machine-- and then ripping it out with a flourish as I did not get it even.  I did this twice. Then I strike an even rhythm and continue on with a very predictable quarter note format, as I try to emulate striking each key with the same weight. Then after a measure of triplets I modulate into F Major finish with a flourish.  I begin with a considerably reduced tempo, measure by measure accelerating.  Safely in F Major, I finish my typing and tear off the sheet with a flourish!
(Once upon a time, I could type 100 wpm and take dictation- in Gregg Shorthand.)

love it
