Aug. 20, 1997 at 7:30. It's free. The LSO is presenting Mendelsohn's Capricio Briliante Opus 22, the Haydn Cello concerto and the Haydn Symphony 104, the last movement of which contains a coded message. Played backwards at twice the normal turntable speed, you can clearly hear the composer shout, "Burn the mint" in the finale, about 64 bars from the end. For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "dcsb-request@ai.mit.edu" with one line of text: "help". --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com), Philodox e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "... however it may deserve respect for its usefulness and antiquity, [predicting the end of the world] has not been found agreeable to experience." -- Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' The e$ Home Page: http://www.shipwright.com/
