I've never heard of him but I'm not very familiar with classical pianists these days. I need to ask the Bookshare staff about privacy issues, concerning his name. I don't know if I can give you his name or not. Rather be safe than sorry. Carrie siss52 <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Was the pianist who donated them a famous person? That is why I asked his name.

Does anyone want me to process them and submit them to the download list? I didn't think there were many members who were classical music fans so I haven't touched them yet. The bars of music will certainly be unreadable, but the text should be okay. What do you think?

I'm majoring in music so it looks like an interesting read. MissWings At 01:18 PM 8/18/2007, Shane Christenson wrote: >Hi, fellow booksharians.
