Lausanne exposition

[Farrell]

Wow! What a fabulous-looking program! I wish I could read some French. I can kinda make out the gist of some of it. I looked closely through it hoping to find that it was going to be held somewhere in Quebec - as I will be near Ontario at that time. But if I am pseudo-translating correctly it will be held in France.  :-(
I would love to attend such a conference - could possibly do Quebec, France is out of the question (would love to, just can't do the $$$).

Below is an old post of mine that did not generate any specific info. Can anyone help?

Reading the several articles on 19th century pianos in last month's Journal - "Pianos of Brahms", etc. blew me away. I was always of the mind that all pianos before the modern type were inferior stepping stones to the real thing. No More! I would love to learn more and more about 18th & 19th century pianos. Can anyone provide any good  references for learning about construction, features, characteristics (how they sound - good points and bad - how they played), and so on.

I am........

Eager to learn!
