I have a CD in a series of the Schumann Fantasy Pieces, op. 73, it's the
same idea as Music Minus One. It begins with a tuning note A at 443 Hz,
described as
Concert pitch A, and sounded on the piano.
In this respect, as in many others, the UK isn't European, at least at
the amateur level I play at, and indeed I hadn't heard of anyone tuning
to other than A440 until I subscribed to Klarinet, and bought this CD.
It makes tuning to the CD on my aging 1010s quite difficult, which is a
shame. Now in the good ol' days of LPs I could have slowed it down to
A440 (sigh...)

John, I did the Accompaniment on CD to the Schumann Op. 73, and the
Romances, and it's at 440. See my page (in signature). Shipping the CD to
the UK is only $5.
