Could I claim the short section 13, please?
As I'm new to this I thought it would make a good kick-off. Also this would be my first time on a collaborative project (I've read a couple of short poems). My 1 min. test is at http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tests/test_Latimer.mp3 if anyone wants to hear more or less what I sound like (I had a cold at the time but I'm not saying I sound much better now

).

I guess I can barely get by to read opera... but as this is all that's required - could I have the last section please?

ETA: And, in honor of my lovely friend the conductor (or my friend the lovely conductor?) I'd like to read about the Development of the Orchestra as well...

Here is chapter 10 ready for review. I hope I got everything right.

Two quick little things. First off, the name of the file should be "howtoappreciatemusic_10_kobbe" No extra zero before the ten. Secondly, whenever you post the link, you need to post the duration as well. How long is it?

Thanks for the section! These are just little housekeeping things. Not a big problem.

Hi Patrick, I just caught that - I fixed the filename on the uploader and in the MW - no need to reupload!

Chapter 10 is 27 minutes and 4 seconds long. Sorry about that.

Perhaps I'm sticking my neck out as a raw beginner but I would like to claim chapter 8 about Paderewski as well as the chapter I've already claimed (13).

If I find I've bitten off more than I can chew, I'll let you know asap - It's just that my daughter (who's a musicologist among other things) has done some work on Paderewski so I feel a certain affinity with this chapter.

Thanks,

Dick.

@Agentjoe thanks for the duration.

@Latimer, No worries, if you find that you need to let go of that section (or both, for that matter) just let me know.

@MARTIN GEESON, thanks for the chapter!

@debolee, you got it!

Is there a 'correct' way to pronounce his name? I know this is nitpicky, but just in case there is a preference - is it Gustav or Gustav? And is it koh-bay or kaw-bay?

Thanks!
Deborah
