In Germany we have a saying: "The German oak will not be perturbed by the sows grinding themselves at the trunk." (or the like).

What do you think and say in Milano? What's it in English, French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, ...?

In England we would say:

"shove it up your arse you ingrates, I won't bother in future"

I think this was Thal being polite.
Ben Jonson (if my memory serves me correctly) opens up Volpone with the following immortal phrase which could be a literary version of Thalspeak
"Thy worst, I fart at thee"

and on that savoury note exeunt stage left!

I had to look it up, because I certainly didn't remember that line (I assuredly would have!) - anyway, wrong play dear Brian - it's the second line of Ben Johnson's 'The Alchemist'. Does sound like Thal! Perhaps Thal knew Ben Johnson in a former life?

At Grove one was taught that since the opus number was not part of the title of the piece, it should be lower case. So, in my -- and many others' -- view, Caprotti is right. IMSLP are incorrect, and very rude too!

Did anyone understand the Czibulka Adolfi name? I, too, was puzzled by that.

Oh, incidentally, Happy Birthday, Oren, or is it already over in Israel?

Thanks for clarification Rob, I last read the plays of Jonson some 40 years ago and had to rely on my shaky memory. But definitely agree that Thal is most definitely a character that would have been most at home in that period. Thal we love you!

Agree - IMSLP renamed my van Dieren scans quite unnecessarily and inappropriately destroying some of the information contained in the filenames! They then blocked them even though they are public domain in Canada and in Europe - but apparently not in the US.
