    - I think KDFC had the stronger signal, so that's probably what it was [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 18:15:35 11/2/20 ( 0)

Nobody in my house knew about classical music - pbarach 19:23:58 10/31/20 ( 0)
I can get into that a bit later, but, for now, I want to tell you about my imprint version. . . - Chris from Lafayette 13:54:32 10/31/20 ( 16)
- The 15th Schubert Quartet should have been titled, "The More Interesting Maiden." - jdaniel@jps.net 18:09:05 10/31/20 ( 13)
  - Yes, but don't you find the last two movements..... - steve.ott@kctcs.edu 08:29:17 11/2/20 ( 1)
    - Prazak! +1 - Chris from Lafayette 11:55:55 11/2/20 ( 0)
  - IMHO, the 15th is one WEIRD piece! - And, yes, it's my favorite [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 01:55:41 11/1/20 ( 10)
    - RE: favorite -- +1, but the D&tM & the Op 29 are none too shabby. (nt) - goldenthal 00:01:12 11/2/20 ( 9)
      - And the Quintet. Speaking of, any rec's for "best" modern recordings of either? - jdaniel@jps.net 12:46:44 11/2/20 ( 7)

        Actually I meant the mind-boggling C Major String Quintet. I can't get into the "Trout," pleasant as it is. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 17:35:44 11/2/20 ( 5)
        
        But he was referring to the C-major Quintet! - Chris from Lafayette 18:18:25 11/2/20 ( 4)
        
        Oh man, how many Schiffs can there be??? My bad. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 18:24:20 11/2/20 ( 3)
        
        Only two, but one is short... nt - tinear 05:57:44 11/3/20 ( 2)
        
        I though "C+" Quartet meant "slightly above average." : ) nt - jdaniel@jps.net 11:04:15 11/3/20 ( 1)
        
        RE: I though "C+" Quartet meant "slightly above average." -- Oh, No . . . - goldenthal 14:38:49 11/3/20 ( 0)
      - Absolutely correct! [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 01:34:02 11/2/20 ( 0)

  - And it was mono only IIRC! ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 15:32:21 10/31/20 ( 0)
