Or even tonight, I forgot I have a computer at home. I must correct something I said above (and which I have now deleted!), this disk IS selling itself as a first for this violin (I think I was drunk when I first read the CD notes). Reading the notes it refers to this violin being one of the famous four instruments B received from Lichnowsky. And yet the description of this violin bears no resemblance to either of the instruments performed by the Schuppanzigh Quartet. I believe the BH regards the current instrument as genuine but makes no reference to the existing instruments, thus one of the others must have nothing to do with Beethoven. Yet the Schuppanzigh CD was published by the BH as being performed using Beethoven's quartet instruments four years AFTER they were aware of the current violin according to the CD notes of the present disk.
There is something going on here. There is only one way to solve it, bring in our local detective, Sherlock Newman!
