Probably not. But coming from the mouth of one who is so consistent in his discussion of iconography and in more apocryphal stories on lutenists that would feel a large volume, in a forum where iconography and apocryphal stores happens to be some of the major subjects of discussion, I wonder if the left side of your mouth knows what the right side is saying. >The Bob Spencer edition was published, as Ophee knows perfectly >well, by Chanterelle, not Tecla. I really dislike having my words >misrepresented. That's really too bad and I fully sympathize with you. But to refresh your memory, here is what you said: >I think Brian Jefferey has published some of these >arrangements. Edited by the >late Bob Spencer. Many of you probably know the edition. In case you are not quite clear in your understanding of the publishing situation, Brian Jeffery who you mentioned, is the owner of Tecla, not Chanterelle. As for Chanterelle, owned and operated by Michael Macmeeken, they have never published any, and I mean ANY, Schubert songs, arranged or edited by Robert Spencer. This is the result of a search of their on line catalog for Schubert: http://tinyurl.com/9b4l5 All of these editions were published by other publishers, not by Chanterelle, and they only sell them in their mail order business. None of them were edited by Spencer either. The only connection between Schubert, Spencer and Jeffery is the volume of songs Brian published in 1985 http://www.tecla.com/catalog/0044.htm from copies in the Spencer collection. The volume contains exactly three Schubert songs, from a total of 33 songs, and none of them were edited by Bob Spencer, but, as it clearly states on the cover, by Brian Jeffery. All Spencer did is supply the originals. In other words, I have no need to misrepresent your words. You are doing a fine job of it all by yourself. >Furthermore the Tecla edition by Tom Heck consists of his own >arrangements, not work based on historical examples. Isn't that exactly just what I have said? there _must_ be an echo in here. >It was condemned by Ophee in an irrational diatribe. I did? can you remind of when and where? or is this another one of your mysterious hallucinations which come to you often whenever I challenge you to back up your statements with facts? Just let me remind you that you are tottering pretty close to actionable libel. > >So why don't you take a rest, Matanya, until you can get your facts >down correctly.

Perhaps I should repay you in kind, but frankly, I am not qualified to offer assistance in the kind of problems you face. Matanya Ophee Editions Orphe'e, Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.
