I am geograpically nearer (about 4-5 hours by car), but I'm afraid it clashes with dates I have set aside for the Strasbourg Musica (contemporary music) festival. Still, if any of you decide to go to this orgy of Beethoven and care to make a detour to Strasbourg I may well feel obliged to consider inviting you to dinner.
