The last of Bjornson . . . there's a loud bit at the beginning, but the whole file balances out at 89 dB. Let me know if you think the loud bit is too loud, I can tone it down a bit and bring up the quiet bits, but I didn't want to do that too much because I was trying to go with the emotions of the characters in the play . . .

I listened to your section late yesterday evening, and I think that the volume is just fine as is, MaryAnn--no adjustments needed. Wonderful reading! :thumbs:

Section 07: PL OK
Kind regards,

Thanks Lucretia. Glad to have that done. It took me quite a while because the play bit was a bit intimidating. I loved the two other stories. What a wonderful (and under appreciated) author.

MaryAnn

Edit - Oh, and may I claim Section 19 next? I'd like to see this volume get done because there is so many well known authors in Volume 6 - Bronte and everyone whose name begins "Brown" . . .

I've not tried any of the dramatic reading stuff--I'm not sure that I could manage it very well, but I thought that you did a great job. And, yes, I really liked the stories--especially "The Father". :)

I've put you in the MW for 19--thanks!
Kind regards,
Lucretia

And here's the Norwegian Dance, lasting only 18:00...
https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/worldsbestliterature5_41_various_128kb.mp3

There was a song in the middle, each line sung alternatingly by Gunnar and Ragnhild and then by both... I think this was the most annoying song in my life... :lol:

Yes, that song must have been a bit tedious to read--but well done anyway! :)

Section 41:
--At ~7:00 the text shows "...spoiled even by a vicious artistic principle"--but I hear you say "...spoiled even by a victorious artistic principle"

Thanks, Ava!
