Siggy,

I'm glad to read this, because here in the U. S. so very many who play
Baroque music play metronomically, with no real interpretative sense. And
also play Baroque organ works too fast. (Baroque tracker organs allowed
playing no faster than a midern Moderato. So said Albert Schweitzer.) Then
they wonder why very few like Baroque music!
