Very interesting. I presume that the article is in English since the title
is English, and that is the German convention about such things. Otherwise,
its going to stretch my German beyond the limit, I fear. Our university
library is awaits the publication - but I may wait even longer, since I will
be away all summer and next semester. Although from what the library tells
me about the Mozart Jahrbuch publication schedule, I might be back long
before it arrives!

Kevin Fay's remarks about Einstein and the violin are also interesting - I
didn't know that. But remember, we are dealing here with two extraordinary
geniuses - I guess I was thinking more of "ordinary excellence" when I asked
my question.

More later.
