not really ....... but I'm sure it will be well attended and once the write-up appears in the paper I'll be able to tell you what he played

Peter Katin recital 10th May

Mozart Sonata in F major (they don't say which )
Beethoven Pathetique Sonata
Debussy Estampes
Chopin Polonaise-Fantasie
Chopin Waltz in A flat (which one ? )

local paper prose "This was an annual treat and no climatic conditions were going to upset it. No crashing discords, no fancy time-signatures, no New Age anything, just two hundred years-old melodies coming alive as if for the first time via the fingers of a master"

[Serial_Apologist]

just two hundred years-old melodies

A complaint should be registered for contravening the Trades Descriptions Act.

A complaint should be registered for contravening the Trades Descriptions Act.

Too late, repealed in 2008. And despite what you heard on the media, it always was the Trade Descriptions Act. False analogies with Trades Union Council I'm afraid!

Our dear eighthobstruction doesn't seem to have been seen hereabouts for getting on for 3 weeks... Anyone heard from him?

[EdgeleyRob]

Yes,missing 8o and Jayne.

I greatly miss Jayne Lee Wilson and her erudite, beautifully written reviews, one of the great glories of this Forum. Such a pity that she appears to have left after the fallout with Ariosto. Has anyone been in contact to try and persuade her back? It saddens me when really worthwhile people leave in such circumstances.

PLEASE COME BACK JLW!

PLEASE COME BACK JLW!

wholeheartedly seconded

[Richard Tarleton]

Beautifully put, Pet, and thirded.

What I take to be the offending spat and thread had entirely passed me by, only just found it by backtracking to JLW's latest posts. Jayne's posts are an education. She's also one of the Forum's small band of competent birdwatchers

[doversoul1]

I am sure that Jayne wouldn’t wilt away just because somebody made a comment or two about her posts. She is made of much sterner stuff that that. She has mentioned some health and other problems more than once in the past. Let’s hope it isn’t these that are keeping her away from the forum.
