Plain Text Attachment [ Download File | Save to Yahoo! Briefcase ] Back in the 1970s a musical spiritualist medium calledRosemary Brown claimed to have written down piecesdictated to her by chopin (amongst others). She gaverecitals and some of the pieces were recorded bycompetent concert pianists of the day. She's now gone to join Chopin in the other place too!Bob Ah, yes...Rosemary. Under the tutelage (whilst dreaming) of Franz Liszt, as I recall, though having heard the recording of her actually playing, she seemed not to have learned a great deal! Seems she was afraid of Bach (very stern) and Beethoven (wild) and I seem to recall that she thought Brahms simply didn't have anything to say to her (memory is shaky at that point). Even Sir Jack Westrup was convinced that it was not a hoax...though others... Thanks for the memories..........
