LibriVox Forum

Hello, My name is Anne and I used to read for Librivox many years ago around 2008-2010. I wonder if I could ask for some help. My father passed away last week after a long illness and his funeral is on Monday. The ceremony will be simple but there is the possibility of including a reading at some po...

There is no 'correct' answer.

I've just managed to check in and have noted the PL notes on my section. Do you want me to try and fix these and re-upload the file? I'm not sure why there should be so much background noise. It may have been the television being on in the next room affecting the quality of the recording.

Anne

I'll get that corrected this weekend and resend it.

Thanks.

Is there a 'correct' way to pronounce his name? I know this is nitpicky, but just in case there is a preference - is it Gus tav or Gus tav ? And is it koh-bay or kaw-bay? Thanks! Deborah I think the standard pronunciation would be ' Gus -tav Kobb -bay', but no one will take you to task if you prono...

Can I have chapter 6 on Schumann, please? He is one of my favourite composers and I love his piano music.

Thanks, and a Happy New Year to everyone.
