Dan - I have no idea if it will sell very much. I don't think that's =
the
right question, though. I'd replace with two:
(1) Should it be done?
Is K361 enough of a masterpiece that it's worth having such a work

without it, will performances 100 years from now suffer from its =
absence?
I vote yes.
(2) If Dan Leeson doesn't do it, who's gonna?
