Hi all,
If I find an error, sometimes it's difficult to tell if it's a scano or
an editor's blooper. I figure if it's an error, like a letter out of
place, I'll correct it. They happen in the best of books. Can't tell
you the number of times over the years when conductors have said, "In
measure X on page Y there is a mistake in the alto line. That should
be a c not a d.
Nobody's perfect but God. Actually, I heard a story once that Japanese
potters will deliberately create a small flaw in each of their bowls or
pitchers because they feel that making a perfect product flies in the
face of The Gods. Interesting, isn't it?
