Re: divers / miscellaneous



Jacqueline --I believe that the Tovey companion to AoF appears in one of the
volumes of his collected essays (approx. 7 volumes, softcover), which I have
at home and will check tonight for publisher info, etc. I don't know if it's
still in print; it was given to me as a gift a number of years ago.

I am the "someone" who suggested yesterday that more "lay" people or other
"lurkers" contribute, to broaden our discussions.

Bonjour F minor,
- I also appreciated Bradley's marvellous explanations, Bach's writing is
also a pleasure for the mind, "didactic pleasure", even for non players.
- Somebody suggested lay people should not be shy in expressing their
opinions, so I'll take the plunge = why Sony has ended Gould's Art of fugue
CD with a Prelude and fugue instead of ending with the caesura ? It's a
musical nonsense and it spoils the emotion...
- I am a bit sad that nobody seems to know about the D. Tovey's Companion
to The Art of fugue (1931), reprinted in 1951, quoted in G. Payzant's book.
- Mario : please, can you put your last message back on my personal e-mail
because as I was just finishing reading it suddenly everything vanished ! I
just had time to memorize your Christian name and that you were asking for
having different languages on this F minor - "Jacqueline P. Colombier"
<jpc171@hotmail.com> - so, to be continued...
- I have ordered "Le nouvel Auditeur" (Syrinx) and I'll report about it in
a little while, in a bilingual version !
                                 Cordialement,
                                   Jacqueline
