Hi. I found you!

[brewski]

Dear Bruce,
Nobody seems to be inerested. Only you 
It is the house where Mahler was born, in Kalischt (now Kalište), Bohemia. Some three months after Gustav's birth the family meved to Jihlava (then Iglau), where Gustav's father owned a distillery and several taverns.
I visited both places in 2008. The house is remodelled, and in 2008 they received guests. It was not easy to find the place, although I went with a native german friend living not far from there. We have not GPS then. Gustav grew in Jihlava, where there are several museums and hotels with his name.

Heavens, as a longtime Mahler fan I should know that! (I have seen photos of the small cottage where he composed, but don't recall seeing this building.)

How great that you were able to visit it.

No, I tried using Google images search--with no luck--as I was also curious.

PD

It is a personal photo. I was there.

[ghmath]

I assume that you are a Sibelius follower. Me too.

Hello dear musimath, thanks for showing me this nice place.

[Brian]

Welcome! Are you real-life friends?

Only for almost the last 20 years despite living 5 time zones apart

Yeah I get that.  I have friends that I haven't seen since like the 90s that I still talk to on the phone.

Yes. In Spain, where he lives. I visited Spain four times.
In a former post I asked you if you are a Sibelius fan.

Pardon, but I thought that at the minimum that I had hit like?  And, yes, that's why I chose my name.

Among many albums of Sibelius music I own one that I specially appreciate, with Lemminkäinen Legends, En Saga by Esa-Pekka Salonen. Not only by the reading, but also by its sound. Do you know it?

A question: is there a way to insert a picture in a post?
Cheers

A question: is there a way to insert a picture in a post?

There are two ways. If the image is hosted on another website (Amazon, Discogs, etc.) you can copy the image link (by right-clicking it) and attach it by clicking the image button (to the right of the YouTube button in the menu bar for posts and replies).

You can also upload an image directly to the forum when using the regular reply option. (Not Quick Reply; click preview to move from Quick Reply to the regular reply interface.)

No, I don't know that specific album.  Sounds like that is a favorite of yours.  How did you run across it?

This? btw, we should move such discussions over to the Sibelius thread ...

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Agreed.

[ghmath]

Thanks. Yes, this is the album!
I included it here because this was an answer to Pohjolas Daughter.

As to replies and quick replies: if I want to quote someone's post the only alternative is quick reply?

Please remember that I am new here.

[ghmath]

I will open soon a new thread about Mahler, after reviewing former threads.
