I hope that direct mails get rather through the servers filter than responses:
Michael, I would not argument this way. Accidents are accidents, not more. Well, if a whole concert consists of one accident after the other, the player might have had a personal problem, a health problem, the wrong equipment or all that together. But there are rehearsals before the concert, where technical problems (wrong equipment etc.) would have occured first & a solution would have found. If the critic [special one of these eunuchs, who have tried the matter & have found out that they cannot perform due to their inability] compresses several missed notes from many concerts over years [my goodness, how many concert are played by Phil every year !!) into one article, he is a real unfair a,,,,hole. Phil has not the TBPD (typical bras player disease) as alcohol. He has devoted his whole life to make good music. And, he and every other distinguished solo player is extremely sorry and ashamed for every mistake left in the hall. The difference to others is it, that he is used to digest this. We all, I hope the whole horn community will agree, should admire the great things left by the exponents of our art and we should not talk that much about occasional mistakes but oppose this general diffamations of our colleagues & heroes. (believe me, I still have sharp teeth to bite) Greetings to all Prof.Hans Pizka PS: I dont know, why email sent via the t-online program does not transport the text to your system or gets it stripped away, but if I check my email from the webmail site of t-online from any internet cafe around the world, I get the text. Quite strange. PS2: my site is www.pizka.de/Pizka-music.html Donizetti is part of my publications & contains two versions. It is also newly set using FINALE. www.pizka.com was in possession of a Galician/Spain site of very indecent nature ( p o r n ) by chance or accident or language, so I tried had for many years, to get this side, but unsuccessful. But David bought it & tried unfairly to redirect inquiries for my publications to his site. I found it out & protested in a very sharp form. He did not sell this domain name to me (said, he paid a lot of money - for a site with the name of a competitor ???? Strange, indeed.), but he installed a link, to direct all traffic to my original site. Still very strange. And he still refuses to sell that domain expecting I would bow in to his hostile attempt of a take over. But I have other plans. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
