Future concerts you're excited to have tickets for.....

[teamsaint]

Hiya AjAjAjH,

I am looking forward to those Shostakovich concerts myself especially the one played by Victoria Mullova. So much for the Halle not paying out for top soloists. Sir Mark must have met Victoria down at their local Holland Park Tesco Express.

If they are saving money, they should have booked Tasmin Lidl.

The Car Park gigs are mighty fine I'm reliably told.

Now here's a thing.
just had a good old fashioned letter from the Anvil telling me that at an upcoming concert, Prokofiev VC #1 has had to be "unavoidably" (their word) substituted with # 2.

I wonder how this is "unavoidable"?
And should it go to pedants paradise?

In English as she is spoke we say that one thing is substituted FOR another, meaning that the first thing replaced the other.

I am not clear what it means to say that one thing was substituted WITH another. Isn't that the more egregious solecism?

I may have misquoted, or not, and it was late on a school night. And I threw the letter away.

Off to pedants corner, I think.

(Plus common use , say in footy, has substituted BY. And in any case, WITH seems oK according to these guys.

"The soloist, conductor and orchestra have all prepared the First Concerto, and they're not going to change it just because some fool missed the correct key when they were typing up the programme for the printers".
