Hi, John,

Sorry for the big snip; but just a quick observation. Different  
strokes and all -- I play, and am willing to perform, a sonata by  
Marcello, a piece by Gluck, a waltz by Chopin, a bourree by Bach,  
etc., all transcribed from flute, piano and cello. It gives me great  
pleasure to "insult" these fine composers. Of course, I wouldn't pass  
any of them off as my own (plagiarism content); but they'd be ~me~  
performing them, not the originators.

See you next month!

Tom
