[Hornlist] Unwarranted attack onf Prof. Pizka

2006-09-09 Thread Jim Price
I would like to express my profound embarrassment for the vicious and totally unjustified personal attack on Hans by Mr. Traxx. I can attest that Hans is a thoroughly decent man, dedicated to helping others, particularly other aspiring horn players. I wish that he had been born in the U.S.,

Not unlike the aftershocks of an earthquake. Just as you believe things are about back to normal you feel one, but with time the aftershocks slowly decay in intensity and you end up back at the steady state. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf

Greetings - Since I received The Horn Call for May of 2006, Vol. XXXVI, No. 3 I've been wondering about the article which appears on pp. 43-47 entitled The History of Musical Pitch in Tuning the Pianoforte, by Edward E. Swenson. Many of us know that early music folks often, if not usually

I think Hans can take care of himself, he has proven that many a times here. I don't think we need everyone here coming to his defense, it only hurts his ego. I also don't think we need the Anti-Jew emails that two people have sent me. This only proves my point even more. There is a saying we
