Sorry about that. My Couperin arrangement *is* short (less than three
minutes), but it's still there. I just checked the link. If it fails,
please try it again.

This time, I'll leave off the http and let people type that part in
themselves--sorry about putting gobbledygook on the list when I posted the
link the first time. I keep forgetting that if I use accent marks or send a
complete link, this fershlugginer so-called improved AOL mail program
automatically adds line-enders and alphabet soup to the plain text.

SibeliusMusic.com performed a system upgrade on Columbus Day and the site
(which has always been slow) has been acting intermittantly wonky ever since.
I'm getting a lot of 504 Gateway Timeout errors, "Web Page Not Responding"
errors and that sort of thing, indicating the site can't handle the amount of
traffic it's getting. The site also sometimes (but not always) refused to
recognize my member password when I was loading and modifying the Couperin
files. The joys of technology....

Off-topic but recommended: In the SibeliusMusic site's links to the most
popular / recommended scores, the top hit is "The Lone Ar-ranger 2!" It's a
delightful, Victor-Borgia-ish mishmosh of "The William Tell Overture" with
several other familiar pieces, arranged for two pianos by British musician,
teacher and composer Philip R Buttall (who doesn't put a period after his
middle initial):

I defy anybody to listen to "The Lone Ar-ranger 2!" without laughing.
