In what sometimes seems a harah world, this is a lovely thread.
A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked.
I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.
They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.
When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Do you know this composer?
As Alex Ross stated in The New Yorker 2018, "not only did Price fail to enter the canon; a large quantity of her music came perilously close to obliteration. [This instance is] a potent symbol of how a country can forget its cultural history."
