It's Ron heading up the welcome committee again today. Gladgrad has joined us: welcome! Reading between the lines, does your name mean that you've recently had good news of an academic nature?
Best wishes,
Ron

Welcome gladgrad. Perhaps I should say here, rather than on the appropriate thread, that I hardly know how the French Baroque style differs from the English or Italian. In fact, after all this time (since studying it in a cursory way) it all seems to blur into a twiddly mess of knitting which becomes the tangle of the Rococo.

(KB I think you probably know one of its aspects without necessarily knowing it - the 'overture-suite' with the slow double-dotting stuff and then all those dances is basically a French thing, as in the Bach orchestral suites...) |

Sorry not to have posted here first!
Unfortunately for Ron's interpretation of my name my academic achievements were too many years ago to be classed as recent.

I have a feeling I already know what Lully spent most of his free time doing, before knocking seven bells out of his tootsies with his baton. |

Wow; i was reading your username as "gladrag" right up until I saw the subject header now that I'm writing my reply. WEIRD. This makes far more sense.
Warm welcomes.
