It's good to see a familiar name from the 'old place' - unless I am mistaken. Hope you get stuck in here good and proper, in the manner of salymap with a slice of Battenburg
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
Am I correct in thinking that only salymap could devise a thread and then take it so deliciously off-topic without a moment's murmur from her legion of fans?

Quite correct.

What with Caliban and Anna still simmering away (will they? won't they? It's like a Jane Austen novel), and antongould with his 'Lady Sidcup' (the pet name, the teasing - even Claire Rayner couldn't miss those signs), every day is Valentine's Day on For3.

I don't think we can match you and, was it, Malcolmtalcum
Then, alas, I am the last non-Brucknerian on these boards. I won't go down without a fight!
Oh dear, 'Noggin. The more you fight it, the worse it gets......succumb to the inevitable...look at the man's image...he is going to get you in the end...you think you have him conquered then one day the 6th or the 8th creep up on you and its "Goodnight Vienna".
France is no hiding place...
Nice try though.

Another Scheit, to whom guitarists have reason to be grateful - professor of guitar at Vienna State Academy, he was a prolific editor - especially of the works of Dowland which he transcribed for guitar. Some of these were based on sources in the British Museum, copied for him by Ernest Newman. Sorry, I don't have German but the Google translation is taking a while Karl Scheit was another whose contribution to 20th century guitar the deeply unpleasant Segovia airbrushed out of history, along with Miguel Llobet, Emilio Pujol.... Scheit edited Frank Martin's Quatre Pieces Brèves for guitar, written for Segovia but which Segovia never played because they were serial, and too difficult for him. Julian Bream made them famous on his "20th Century Guitar" LP.
Tangentially on thread - Ernest Newman hated Liszt, writing the most extraordinarily vitriolic (and inaccurate) biography of him.

One day I will play them all.
Well don't schedule anything else that day.....
