Dear Dr. Adelson, Thank you very much for appreciating my article about Erard's harps, it is a great honour for me. I already ordered your article ("Viscount de Beaumont's Harp and Music Album (1780)", Galpin Society LXII, 2009), through the interlibrary loan service and I look forward to it. I had already spoken about the relation between the performer his harp before with Mrs. Fanny Guilaume-Castel, who reminded me, among other things, of the other text you wrote with Jaqueline Letzer ("For a woman when a young and beautiful" harp in the 18th For centuries France "dans history, Herstory: Alternative Musikgeschichten, édité par Kreutziger-Herr, Annette et Losleber, Katrin, sl, Böhlau, 2009, pp. 314-335). But Mrs. Fanny pointed out that this work is more likely to focus on the issue of gender in playing the harp. Thank you again and have a nice day, Daniela
