And then read about online and, sure enough, Schumann spent time with that Hummel &c &c. Am inordinately pleased with myself for noticing (what is almost certainly actually there, ha), and it is some small consolation for doing so badly on the quiz. <br /><br />But I have been reading up on the difference between 12 tone-ism and serialism. :-)Marc in Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331547981498637474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-73005755880788424232016-01-30T16:15:56.115-06:002016-01-30T16:15:56.115-06:00I had no idea!I had no idea!Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-78173584064556346032016-01-30T13:14:02.805-06:002016-01-30T13:14:02.805-06:00I had the bee buzzing so actually spent five minut...I had the bee buzzing so actually spent five minutes at the Kindle help site. No official answers but it appears to be a common enough occurrence that the same Kindle item is sold at different prices in different countries, for whatever reason.
