Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

WOW!
I shall have to content myself with the knowledge that my Dover score is easier to read and much cheaper. -
I wouldn't pay $4.50 for it

I much rather rustle up £4.5 million for that new London concert hall, which in my mind is at risk, and Rattle may not be the LSO's conductor!!Don’t cry for me

£4.5million might just pay for the downstairs seats in the Rattle vanity hall - far better to give the money to the British Museum to make the Mahler manuscript available to the public for posterity.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

I've got more piles of bl∞dy music manuscripts in my house than I have space for, and somehow every year there's another pile or two - what would I want with yet more???Comment

I started a thread on this forthcoming Sotheby's sale earlier this week (although I didn't mention the Beethoven dispute); it's Auctioning Mahler under Talking about Music; see http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/...06/lot.37.html .Originally posted by Beef Oven! View Post
I can only hope that, whoever can afford the millions for which it will undoubtedly go, the score finds its way to an institution where it can be seen rather than to a private collector where it might never see the light of day again.
Better buy a lottery ticket tomorrow...Comment

Small fry this stuff. When I saw the headline I thought it might be about the Kardashians, but no - see https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...martin-shkreli
Why would anyone expect Mark Zuckerberg to be responsible for bailing them out? He's welcome to bail me out for a few million - dollars or pounds - I don't care, but then I'm not actually in debt as far as I know, so I don't have any reason to ask him.Comment

Small fry it might be but the prize at the end is surely rather different?Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostComment
