"I'm keen on a vision of Beethoven reached through playing him as well as listening to him, and based upon details. Your crow on a tower is exactly what I want, but out of what is the tower built? Unfortunately so much of him I can't play, and though I had begun to buy the more difficult for my gramaphone they are immured in town. Even once on a record helps. The last movement of the "Hammerclavier," which I used to think so harsh and senselss, is revealing itself as a gigantic beauty, tearing down veil after veil away from the night as it gathers strength--However if I go on like this the Censor will think I am using a code."
-- E.M. Forster, in a letter from 1940

I tried to call Sunday night to name the A-Major Mozart violin concerto to win the CD, but couldn't catch the phone number. Bummer.
