Great!!  Now that he has ruined this concerto for me!  I will probably jump
up the next time I listen to it and try to find out who has come to call.

A "friend" once told me the words someone wrote to Rubinstein's Romance in
Eb.  "Welcome sweet springtime"....  etc.  If anyone cares, I will gladly
ruin this one for free.  Not to even mention the words to the Grieg
concerto and other pieces from Song Of Norway.  Strange Music...........
