Announcing Rheinsberg: Frederick the Great discussion post 10

[cahn]

So for anyone who is reading this and would like to learn more about Frederick the Great and his contemporaries, but who doesn't want to wade through 500k (600k?) words worth of comments and an increasingly sprawling comment section:

We now have a community, rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

Re: Henri de Catt Unplugged - I

You think his passion is music, I wish to God it were so! But he has a stronger inclination: he wants to write verse and become a poet.

LOL! I realize he was probably not either all that interesting or nice, but the two excerpts from his letters that I've now seen (this one and the one throwing shade on FW's giants) have been rather amusing :)

These excerpts are why I had him being the one to scoff at Fritz and Fredersdorf's flute-playing in "Counterpoint." :)
