Subj: [kl] Michael, the pages fell open.....

Today I received a copy of Brymer's book (thank you, Michael!).
As I unwrapped the book, it fell open to a page with the title "Speech
and Music" (I am not joking about this). The first paragraph says:

The music of speech is the first music a child learns, and from
this music he derives the meaning of life. Later he can apply it to
the art of music as we know it, and there is no doubt that there is a
close analogy between the two, a connection between the spoken word and
music. [major snip] How can this link-up of language and
instrumental sound find general application? It is something for the
future, a new concept of wood-wind playing, for certainly no generation
of players has so far given it a chance.

Thank you, Mr. Brymer!

....and while I'm typing, I love picturesque English addresses. Here
is an establishment that I would visit simply because of its address.
It is a chamber music publisher named Rosewood Publications:

'Farthings'
Rotten Row Hill
Tutt's Clump
Bradfield, Berkshire

How could a person not want to go there? What would you find there?
How about "Suite of Folktunes from Transylvania & Banat"? (easy to
moderately difficult)

Michael, compared to the first 10 bars of Brahms Sonata No. 2, how does
"moderately difficult" compare?

Thanks again,
Bill
