I often wander into the S African chain of Musica, which sometimes have
a single shelf of classics.  The shelf often contains wonderful rarities,
like recently Naxos' 'Busoni: Music for two pianos.' How do they select?
I suspect their buyer has no knowledge whatsoever of classical music,
so just picks randomly from a list. Once I phoned a Musica to find out
whether they have Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in stock, to which the reply
was: 'How do you spell that....?':-)
