I'm not blaming composers for publishing abroad. They publish where they
can. I blame myself for not supporting local companies, or even foreign
companies, by not buying what I would be able to buy. Does Warner own
more than Editorial Lagos? I must confess I know nothing about that.

Yes, and that's why Hoppy comes to Argentina every now and then, we're
all very grateful to him for that. What I meant was, I'm not asking for
donations for my Conservatory's library or for me, there are no
lutenists in Bahia Blanca (700km away from Buenos Aires, 400km away from
Mar del Plata). I wish there were. But if you want to make any donations
I won't stop you. :-) Roman, you're doing enough already by making
available music for download. Thanks. I have the music, I'm sorry it's
not possible to download a lute. :-) Well, I'll just keep playing this
stuff on the guitar, then (sorry).

Regards,

Hern�n.
