Faldage said: We just did a Rakhmaninov piece that had the notes in Russian. The editor was nice enough to translate them into Italian for us. (My bolding). Okay, okay. So how much is a rakh of silver worth? For an explanation of this question, see the "Fortnight" thread. Of course, I would listen to Rakmaninov, and my father would play his piano pieces. Did, perhaps, Rakhmaninov compose for the sitar?

Basque composers
Well, I sort of expected someone to come up with at least one Basque composer after I posted that, such being the level of erudition to be found in this group. Now all I have to do is refer to a one-armed redheaded green-eyed Ecuadorian Pali scholar and someone will come up with a name. TEd will come up with something, probably outrageous, which I eagerly anticipate.

Took off for one day after the music-medicine post and come back to find a lot of stuff to swallow....but then I'd promised to take my medicine on this one! For newcomers out there, I do love to shake beehives! You especially have to beware of me when the weather in my region (the US's shortest Secoast) is cold and gloomy  I tend to go a bit wacky.  WOW

>"Oh, which hospital?"
You were lucky. I had to put up with this for years! I was working in the West End and had just come back from Broadway when my "partner" qualified as a doctor. I got caught out every time. I now say that I work "in the arts" and people start asking me about museums - aaargh. In the UK, art museums are called usually called galleries, so I've never worked in a museum and I'm performing arts not visual arts, anyway. Tip: Theatre managers should not marry surgeons!

1. Ravel was Basque.
2. Sibelius spoke Swedish.
3. Albanian is Indo-European.
4. Lots of other minor Finno-Ugrian languages (Votyak, Veps, Zyryen, Mordvin, Lappish, Chuvash... and I'd better not go on in case one of those is actually Turkic).

Hi, there NicholasW. Glad to see I'm not the only one imposing didactic diatribes on the lollygaggers.
