I must aggree with the several people who have objected to the 
discussions flying back and forth about Nazi-ism and music. The person
who originally posted the article seeking information may or may not have
been right to do so, but all the rest of you who have been throwing comments
about concerning his intentions or who is or isn't gay or a Nazi or a gay
Nazi or whatever are definitely doing the newsgroup a disservice. Let's
keep these discussion between people via private mail or small scale
fisticuffs, but let's get them off this news group, please.

As for myself, I have been discouraged by the lack of discussion concerning
early (earlier) music. Poulenc and Ives are OK (I guess, though I don't
particularly care for them myself). But is there anyone out there interested
in discussion concerning MY favorite subjects, such as Baroque keyboard
music?

I am somehwta partial to the French Baroque Claviscinists (Couperin, Rameau,
D'Aquin, Balbastre, D'Anglebert, and so forth) and the earlier Flemish
period (Jan Pieterszoon Sweelink, Preatorius, etc.).

I also have a keen interest in the instruments of the period, having built
a dozen or so harpshichords, clavichords, etc., and also restored some
real spiffy French and Flemish style organs during my stays in Belgium.

Let's branch out, boys and girls (and gays and Nazi's, for that matter)!

Dick Pierce, prop.
