In your 1996 explanation of the Sinfonie Concertante mystery you mention
"Tovey".

There were a few dissenting voices. George de St. Foix commented on
the really strange architecture, the double solo exposition that has no
precendent in all music of the period, and a few other things. Tovey
said, in 1930, "The man who wrote this work could not compose."

Who was this Tovey? Forgive my ignorance, but could this be someone
related to
Bramwell Tovey, the current Music Director of the Vancouver Symphony?

Thanks,

Audrey
