[edit] Verdi String Quartet

Hi, Kugelmass. I'm not new to Wikipedia, but being human I sometimes act inappropriately. I had no need to talk about this being self-serving, and I apologise for that. The article was about the quartet, not about recordings of it, although I agree that information about the recordings is useful and can be included, but not in the lead paragraph, somewhere lower down. However, I disagree with the statement about the Juilliard bringing it back from obscurity. The first recording I owned was of the string orchestral version, which I bought in 1973 or 1974. It was played by, from memory, I Solisti Veneti. I heard numerous other performances of the original string quartet version many times on radio over the years, well before 1992.

I had a discussion with my cello teacher concerning the Verdi Quartet some time ago. It would seem that I took his words of praise for the JSQ recording to heart without doing the homework myself. Thank you for the correction.
I took a brief look at your user page. I might have a lead on your Godowsky recording. Besides the quite innaccessible copy at the Oxford music archives, I have good reason to believe there's one at Northwestern here in Chicago. A good friend of mine works there as an assistant librarian... I'll tell you if anything turns up. It was nice to have met you, JackofOz. Please let me know if I can be of any help, whether it be editing, research, or otherwise.Kugelmass 07:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
If there is another recording, that would be very good news indeed. I remain utterly baffled as to why this piece isn't in every virtuoso pianist's repertoire. Maybe we can change that someday. Thanks for the support. Cheers. JackofOz 23:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I already have an LP copy of the Godowsky recording, which is how I came by knowledge of the piece in the first place. It's other recordings (if they exist) that I'm interested in digging up. I've re-rewritten that bit on my user page to make this clearer. Cheers. JackofOz 01:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whoops

Sorry about the delay. Everything should be okay now. DS 02:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it— it wasn't your fault. Thank You. Kugelmass 02:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PDF identified

Hi again

That pdf didn't want to completely download for me. It only got to 21 of 42 pages, then stopped. But at least I was able to read the title page, which says:

Grand Trio pour le pianoforte, clarinette ou violin et violoncelle concertans composé et dedié à Madame Josèphe Turnhammer par Adalbert Gyrovetz, Op.43
Or in plain-speak:
Trio for piano, clarinet and cello (or piano, violin and cello), Op.43 by Adalbert Gyrowetz, dedicated to Madame Josèphe Turnhammer.

Our article on Gyrowetz doesn't seem to reflect his prolific composing, including over 30 operas and 60 symphonies (some of which were at one time attributed to Haydn). I'll make some changes. Thanks for reminding me about him. Cheers JackofOz 01:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
