Has anyone noticed how many topics and names of composers that are mentioned on this site are picked up by Google?. That can only be a good thing but it is a little frustrating when researching to get back to ones own quote!
It was thanks to google that I found this excellent site.
I think I was researching Zelenski PC and unsung came up on the 2nd or 3rd page.
The obscurity of the composers we discuss I guess is always going to ensure that one finds ones own quotes on the first few google pages.

I too stumbled upon this site through researching something (or someone) obscure.
Rather than being irritated by it, i get a small sense of self-satisfaction when Google picks-up something I have posted somewhere on the internet. How important I must be! 8)
And sometimes disconcerting,if it's something I regret posting.
I too have noticed and assume that some of the material that we do discuss is so obscure it is picked up by Google. I'm sure if we were discussing Beethoven's fifth we would see nothing.

Oh we'd see something on Beethoven's 5th. If you want to go all the way to page 565! :)
only from the mind of Jim L ;D
True, Tom. We'd have to dig even deeper for yours! 8)
Now Gentleman! 'Manners maketh man'
It is the obscurity that makes this place far more interesting than all other music based forums I have visited.
However, at the first mention of "Waldstein" or "Raindrop", I will be off.

Sylphide.
he is right. I know Jim by the way and take this in the best of good spirit.
What? We can't talk about the 'Waldstein' Concerto, or the 'Raindrop' Etude?! ;D
Nice one Jim.
Amazingly, in one of the forums I belong to we had a moonfright sonata.

Probably it would require a bulldozer and a bit of luck!!! :)
I think I found the old Raff Society Web site using Google and the old Raff forums were attached to it, including one for other lesser known composers. Sadly, the whole site got vandalized, but Mark, greatly to his credit, managed to resurrect the Forum and Raff site as separate entities.
