Wow, how much is that shoe box worth?

That's so exciting to me...especially as I am a soprano. [Wink] But really, how cool that we get a little piece of something new from one of the greatest western composers of all time?

Wow!

How can they be sure it is for real?

They validate the notation with other samples I think...

I hope it is real. I'm sure it is.

Oh, I hope I'm not raining on a parade. I was just thinking that it really is a fabulous find, and wondering how they know for sure it is what they think it is.

That is absolutely fantastic. I wish things like this would happen more often.

Don't worry Katie, I was skeptical too. The wording of the article made me think that they've had it for a while and that they've finally validated it...so I'm hoping that it's the real thing. [Smile] It looks like his handwriting to me! *giggle*
