Ok, bad choice of composer!
He was, however, only deaf in later life.
Still good excuse for some bad jokes :)
It was a genuine question though. If there is a "correct" was to play,
that must have been decided at sometime by someone.
I'm thinking here of the closed fingering techniques, one finger off at
a time, no choyting etc.
I can understand the concept of setting rules for a competition (so like
is compared to like) but when did this idea of "proper piping" come about?
Is it something that came about accidentaly or was is a joint decision
from somewhere.
As there has been so much discusion (and do remember, being far away
from the area, most of my knowledge has come from reading this list) I'm
really curious as o how it all started and whether there is some basis
(other than personal views) for this.
Sorry if this is a rather large can of worms I'm opening

Well, if he hadn't been the late Beethoven, how could he have composed the Late
Quartets?
