There is a trio for three flutes included but this is not Beethoven's either. The performance of the trio for piano, bassoon and flute is not too bad from this set. Ironically yet another beethoven piece Robert has doubts about.

This trio (Biamonti Catalogo [1968 edition] p.1059) only does exist in a copy in possession of Rampal who in the "Supplement" to the Kinsky-Halm (Kurt Dorfmüller [ed] Beträge zur Beethoven-bibliographie. Studien und Materialien zum Werkverzeichnis von Kinky-Halm, München 1978) p.403 states that there isn't any clue whatsoever that this manuscript has any relationship to Beethoven whatsoever. Rampal's manuscript has got at least three previous owners, but a relationship with Beethoven or members of his circle cannot be proven.
Biamonti's remark that the original might be from Bohemian origin so far couldn't be confirmed by Czech or Slowak libraries or archives.

Dear Roehre : you forgot to add QED.

Dear Philip, I am offering you a car reg peeonehundredandfiftyfive-O-double-ef QED

[Roehre]

Typical ! Offers me a personalized car registration, but not the car itself! Huh! Still, not a bad idea for a Christmas gift. RUC!

Clould mean, Are U Clear, or

I have just realized that the heading for this thread should read, Audio Baddies.

Royal Ulster Constabulary?

Require Urgent Clarification!

[Megan]

No offense taken Philip, It was my silly attempt at knockabout humour.
Speaking of hotels, I can recommend some very pucker Scottish ones.

[Michael]

This (or that) is not a question for you, Michael.

Ooooh Matron! I should 'ope not!

[Megan]

Better bring me that bottle of that Supertonic thingy ...

Sounds to me as though you are already over the limit, old chap!

[Michael]

You may be an oldie, Michael (69 or so...),

I beg your pardon! You are adding five years to my age. Is it because I'm a cunning linguist?

[PDG]

Nor do we care to hear the crazed Welshman-cum-Cloggie's opinion at this juncture. And there, Sheilas and Bruces (= Aussie-speak for ladies and gentlemen) is a clue to RUC.
I do apologize for such appalling stereotyping; it seems I should really re-read my Scruton. Roger-the-Dodger. Where are you, PDG?

I'm here. What can I do for you?..

[PDG]

But I don't need Viagra. Beethoven works for me. Depends on the key though, to be honest. Guess which one, go on!

Well, it would be a flat one, I guess?...And somewhat diminished...

[PDG]

But I don't need Viagra.

I once crossed that on a tightrope...
