Don't be concerned; I can handle many subjects within a short time period.
Besides, I didn't veer off the subject. The thread is about opus 5; I
wrote up the comparisons and nobody took exception (I have no idea why).
It's time to move on to the next quartet, but I was on vacation three days,
and I need a block of quality time to listen and compare the various
versions. That takes a lot of time; the write-up takes a few minutes.
Andrew wrote very highly of Beethoven's 8th symphony; that's the one I could
easily live without. But, I'm sure Andrew agrees with me that Mozart's best
symphony is his 39th.
