Then I type in the link.<br /><br />I copy the resulting html language. I close the tab/window and then paste this into the comment.

The performance I was talking about is entitled "Pau Casals at the U.N." Let me know if you can't get it and I'll try to send it again. Or see if you can cut and paste this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt9iz3xApVg<br /><br />"Pablo" is his name in Castilian. "Pau" is his name in Catalan. Of course the Spanish government referred to him as Pablo. Of course the entire Catalan nation insists to this day that he is Pau.

(I wish italics were available...)<br />The story about practicing at 93 reminds me of hte story aobut Titian's last words: Titian dies at 99 and his last words were "I was just learning to paint"<br /><br />By the way the link you sent me via email didn't work and I couldn't fidn the video in question on youtube. It would help if I knew the name of the Catalan folksong - I'm dying to hear it!<br /><br />Why do I think of him as Pablo Casals rather than Pau Casals?Elizabethhttp://www.elizabethtorak.comnoreply@blogger.com
