Mark, you have no idea about what happened to David when he saw
the Winterthur manuscript of the Mozart concerto for basset horn
(and which turned into the clarinet concerto at measure 91 I
think when Mozart changes the key from G to A major just before
the manuscript breaks off).

Unless you have actually held a manuscipt of this importance in
your hands, you don't know that there is a special part of the
brain, used only for circumstances of this nature, that suddenly
gets activated. It makes your ankles weak and you have to sit
down or fall down. 27,000 butterflies get into your stomach.
Your knees wobble. You can't think and your hands shake. You
behave like a moron and crossed wires in your head make you think
of you uncle Max as this inappropriate time. It's understandable,
because you brain has gone into orbit.

Techncially, and in medical terms, it is called the "going
apeshit disease" and fortunately for all of us, that part of the
brain is rarely so activated. When the event is all over, the
energy consumed makes you tired, and both food and sleep are
often necessary. It takes some time for your body to heal. The
only scars from the event are on your soul.

Dan was just itching to know whether you had managed to get a
look at
the _BACK_ of the pages of the Winterthur fragment where Mozart
put his
version of the concerto for bari sax.
