Subj: SV: [kl] Mozart Concerto - Quintet?
Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 13:41:41 -0400

John and Tony, who can be serious about such a project. Here, people have
spent half a lifetime researching, arguing, thinking, trying-out and
experimenting trying to restore this piece. It's an ongoing discussion about
small things like, if this note should be played an octave lower or that
note should have one sharp or not. Than this comes up, hey, let's get the ax
out and demolish the piece and see what happens. It shows such a lack of
respect for this master-piece and the people who have put down thousands of
hours of research that you should be ashamed. It's like cutting Mona-Lisa
out of the picture for the background didn't go with the wallpaper. There
are other pieces to commit rape to that are less fragile than the Mozart
concerto. Just get the hands off the concerto and play the quintet K.581
since you have that instrument setup available
