@Sweetsound - I had a suitor once, Hungarian, 20 years older, so I declined, but he left me some books when he died - and I am just now getting through a very atmospheric book about Stradivarius - great descriptions of the fashions and manners of his time . . . in German, so I am brushing up on my former language as well. (I have 3 books 'on the go' at the moment) Thankyou - and I guess you have forgiven me for my uninformed 'review' of your compositions. Trouble is, if one 'can't do' one 'criticises' - keep that in mind and keep playing . . . everything Taurisk
