June 21, 2006 at 12:17 AM · Of course they are still in business. They have a copy service Daniel, find their website and request it. It's best to have a catalog number.

June 21, 2006 at 12:59 PM · Good to know they are still in business - maybe it was my local branch...

What I have is what they called an "archived reprint". On the bottom, the numbers I have are:

June 21, 2006 at 10:20 PM · Thanks. My CD is in "post production" I did the recording last season, but my recording engineer, who generously threw in the editing with the modest recording fee has been editing at her own convenience. It's very frustrating! But we're close to the end, and it may be ready to have some excerpts on my website in a few months. Please visit it every once in a while for updates.

that`s a great site. The essay on how to hold the violin is terrific. Very helpful.

Cheers,

July 2, 2006 at 03:57 PM · Thanks for your responses. I've went on to the Fischer website and I can't find Contemplation. Does anyone know the catalogue number?

If you still need Contemplation I happen to

have two copies of it. If you would like to trade something for it you're welcome to it.

it for

you.

Just send me your address.

Peace
