Rien, you have no idea how embarassing it has been on multiple
occasions as I spoke about the collection. I was in Salzburg
presented to the authorities of the Mozarteum, and one officer of
the organization said to me, "Didn't you write a book about
forging Mozart manuscripts?"

I now learn to say, "I am sufficiently knowledgeable about
manuscripts to be able to write about forging them. But it would
take a genius to forge works of art contained in an 18 carat gold
frames which are sold to unsuspecting American naive men for a
pittance."

The first thought I had upon reading this message: "Dan is making
a hoax,
based on his "The Mozart Forgeries" (if you didn't read it as
yet, do so, it
is worth while!).

On closer inspection I am even more convinced so.

I wonder how he will come out of this.
