Hello Daniel, Thanks for the correction. As Pete explained in the linked narrative, he had not intended to do any interviews in Firenza, but was there to take an Italian language course when he met Mr. Bianchini and decided to include him in the study. He also recorded another member of that pick-up group who was very eager to participate. I did not include those recordings in the published results, as his playing was not very good :-) The audio and video recordings are linked from the main surveys page, the 1964-65 audio link is in this sentence: '…the first "Survey of European Horn Playing Styles" presented here' and the video from 2010 link is '…recorded (including video), and photographed…'. There are also links to the videos on each 2010 player's individual bio page. All of the recordings, however, are available only to logged in members of the IHS. Just another benefit of membership... :-) Dan ==================== Dan Phillips Associate Professor Rudi E.
