Yes, the conferences in my own professional field that are most respected, that attract the greatest numbers of quality presenters, are of course those that publish abstracts/proceedings. Even better are those with some kind of peer-review process for abstract submissions to be accepted prior to acceptance for presentation. THAT's a research conference. I'm not certain, however, that's the intent Penn and Stevens have for this smallish gathering.

I did not intend to suggest you intended to mislead this newsgroup by suggesting that Rasch's anthology was a collection of essays (plural) from the Guitar Summit. At least one other reader and I at first believed that from your message. The Boccherini article on the guitar quintets in Rasch's anthology was apparently presented at the 2013 (not 2014) Guitar Summit. Otherwise there were no other "Guitar Summit" papers in the anthology. I saw a list of papers for the 2014 conference, but it has since been removed from the web site. As I noted at that time, the "owners" Penn and Stevens act as referees in selecting papers for the "research conference." Since Penn and Stevens apparently are not interested in publishing the papers (or even abstracts) in some form (not even online), one cannot judge the "Guitar Summit" and the quality of their "research." I lived for six months in a town on the Bodensee, and often visited Konstanz. Like you, I doubt nostalgia would be enough to draw me back for the Guitar Summit. (Better tourist goals are Meersburg, or the Zeppelins at Ludwigshafen!! Or for a real "summit," Hohentwiel bei Singen-- three times I rode my bicycle 20 miles and climbed up there, I was so fascinated with the views. One could see for 50 miles--but no Boccherini guitar quintet was in view.) Heinrich Albert (1870-1950)? AJN On 06/27/14, Braig, Eugene<brai...@osu.edu> wrote: Yes, I do not intend to mislead. I have been told the guitar article was presented by an attendee at the last Lake Konstanz meeting as posted to the Facebook group. As clearly stated, I have never attended in person and am not likely to do so any year soon.

The author writes "... some are not enthusiastic about [my] article whose punch line is that there is no documented evidence . . ." (Guitar Summit, 2013). This collection of essays probably drew inspiration from the Boccherini Conferences in Lucca, and the much ballyhooed forthcoming Boccherini critical collected edition. Editor Rasch, a recognized Boccherini authority, remarks that in his chapter overview "... the guitar quintets . . . will be mainly passed by." (page 2). Certainly the book is not from the "Guitar Summit" group from Konstanz. The owners of the conference are Gerhard Penn (Austrian) and Andreas Stevens (Swiss). Stevens has an on-line life and works study of Heinrich Albert (1870-1950)<g> AJN ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ n 06/27/14, Martyn Hodgson<[5]hodgsonmar...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Thank you for this Eugene.
