Hello all. I'm feeling ready to spend a bit more time on here again, have been listening to a lot more "classical" music in the last couple of months, while I do exercises in the house and in the last hour of the evening to wind down before going to bed. Hope you're all keeping well.

Welcome back! It's always nice to have another 20th Century ally to help fight those old fogies who listen to the earlier classical music.

Ha yes, I got interested in the music composed during my lifetime, have organised it on my music player and am going through it in sequence. 1961-68 have been very good.

Nice to see you back, Steve

Thanks everyone. I'm working on structuring my time now I'm retired and this forum and CM are a good healthy way to spend an hour or two of the day.

I am not sure how many of you will recall a member here called Matti. A Finnish member who specialised in piano music amongst other topics. He visited here less frequently over the last five years or so. Almost a year ago he suddenly died. He was a good friend and I visited his family, often with my wife, every year for about ten years. His withdrawal from the forum was due to his increasing periods of depression. He was a lovely, humorous and very knowledgeable man, and quite a loss to those who knew him.

Christ, I did not know that Mike. I had quite a good contact with him, for I send a few hundred CD's to him, and had quite some email exchange over it. After that contact was infrequent. It pains me to hear of his death, it really does.
I hope that Matti is at peace now, but it is a devastating blow to me nevertheless.

Like Harry I am so sorry to hear this news and my thoughts are with you too Mike.

[knight66]

Thank you both of you. He was one of the handful of close friends I have made here and it is very hard to see that diminished in this way. He had a lot of talents, I guess his public memorial will be his name on the translation of the Sibelius diaries from Swedish to Finnish. An apt memorial.

I do remember Matti fondly and am saddened to hear this news of him.

[André]

That's very sad indeed. Regardless of personal circumstances (illness, depression, accident) a fine mind's demise is always a big loss. People should be remembered for their qualities. That's their legacy to those who knew them.

I don't think I knew this member, but it's sad news nevertheless. My thoughts are with you, Mike.
