Steven, you quoted me out of context from this page:
http://www.thereminworld.com/forum.asp?cmd=p&T=1624&F=1&p=2
I ask readers to read that page, and see also the sentimental poem
(I don't call the poem "good", I call it genuine)
And let anyone, please, who would like to believe your version of the picture, do as they like.
I think, though, that from the first day I spoke to her,
I think that I was honest with her. It was her life,
her memoribilia, her aim to share it freely, so long as
no-one made a buck from it. She said so in her final interview,
and I think, in the poem, that the essence comes through,
that she only wanted what was best for her legacy,
and best was to be open, share, disseminate.
I followed her wishes. The practice tape, of which you feign caused "injury", could hurt nothing. It was presented in context,
and gave a rare chance for thereminists to -just try- to learn to play,
as if Nadia were there in the next room, and Clara, even closer.
-----
The poem again, but see the page for the context.
(apologies for filling up this page with so much of "me". It's for Clara)
