Very quickly....naturally I just deleted the Schiff lectures from my
computer after confirming that, yup, they're all online anyway.<br>
If I can somehow relocate those first three lectures, I'll see how I
can send them to you.<br>
I was slightly surprised at how much personality Schiff has; I've
seen him perform once and heard him in Schubert, which he makes
dull.<br>
Darn. Again I didn't hit "reply all."<br>
Cheers,<br>

Just last week I found a series of "live" lectures on
Beethoven's Sonatas given by Andras Schiff in London and I fell
under the spell. Has anyone else heard them? If so, will you
please comment on them? I wept during the second 'movement' of
Opus 111, I just fell apart: it wasn't because of Schiff's
narrative, it was the music and how Schiff played it. There is
no irony intended here for those of you who might be chuckling.
No no. Sorry. I really blubbed and was relieved not to have been
among the 'publicke' in such a state although there must have
been plenty of people in the audience who found themselves
wiping away tears and suppressing sobs, if the amplitude of the

style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3">applause accounts for
anything; applause which Schiff had already expressed was not
entirely welcome in such circumstances. Here at my little home
station I applauded as well, loud and clear, once the shock of
beauty's sting had pulled its weight of tears from my soul. Then
I staggered to the window for an eyefull of night sky. </font><font
