May well be churlish, disingenuous...or whatever else you care to call it, to mention one contributor - but I always feel most disheartened that I can't respond more positively to 'Violinconcerto',who puts up all sorts of excellent 'steers' under 'discussion of obscure composers'. Reward (?) - well, precious little actually.
Thanks for that. A lot! I am so happy that my project at least touches a string in the one or other person here. But I also know that my work and my offers are very, very special. Modern unknown violin concertos are a niche (in contrary to piano concertos for example). And "scores of modern unknown violin concertos" are a niche in a niche. So I don't take the silence too personally, it's just the topic. But if you compare the activities on this forum to "Talkclassical" forum, than one can see the differences! When I post one of my little new contributions here and come back in - say - 3 days to check for responses, my posting is still on top or at least on the first page. When I go to Talkclassical half a day later, my posting is gone (due to the fact that nobody answers - same problem there). So maybe I won't say this forum is dying, but most of the time it is sleeping. And that is a problem of this forum, not generally to talking about classical music. That is my impression.
Thanks again a lot for your comment, that made my day!
Best,
Tobias
