I was going by his "official" website, rather than Wikipedia.

scb - Could you please tell me where this is on his official website. I have had a look at it but haven't found it yet. The Aspen Times names Dvorak but a wide range of publications including the NPR site, Jewish Exponent, Nashville Arts, readperiodicals, and al.com quotes Webern, ie not only Wikipedia. Thanks.

Well in that case NPR are wrong - generally they aren't - as are a significant number of sites. Possibly most of them.

I note that parts of the official site are under construction.

Dvorak is much earlier than Bartok and Webern, who themselves were both born in the early 1880s and both died in 1945, and somewhat earlier than Janacek. Perhaps he changes the story according to the seasons.

Incidentally, it is very much not the case that I only consider wikipedia. In fact far from it as readers of my other posts would know.

We seem to be entering into some sort of dialogue after a long absence, Mercs.

I must urgently absent myself for an hour or so. If you can't wait for an E, please carry on without me.

all details beautifully present and correct thank you
I can certainly wait as long as you like for the next letter (and I'm sure everybody else can too)

[rubbernecker]

Thank you for your indulgence.


What E embraces (in order):
- Roman and Sicilian;
- the ruins of Carthage and a centre of Sufism;
- the confluence of Rodrigo and Tarrega.

EDIT: I apologise, I had put 1 and 2 in the wrong order. Now corrected.

Oh, that looks an interesting question rubbers! Is a Baron involved I wonder?

Sadly not, although the suggestion looks far more interesting than the actual answer...

My suggestions are always interesting! I thought it might be Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, I think he combined all the elements. Oh well ..... off to the kitchen!
