heeeeee at the trig calculations, if I were as invested in this question as you (which I must admit I am not) this is exactly the sort of crazy thing I would do :)
I thought of you! And no, I definitely don't recommend being this invested in this question. :P
Also, no hurry on the OCR AT ALL, I just got to the library today and checked out Blanning, so I'm good on the reading front for a while :D (Also I thought maybe I should actually read Fritz' own memoirs after this...)
You'll probably finish Blanning before I finish my reread at this rate! I seriously am struggling on these new sedatives. :/ There might be more OCR than not in days to come.
Fritz's memoirs: if you find them in English, let me know! I admit I haven't looked that hard.
(I thought it was really cool to look at the family tree in the beginning, which usually just confuses me, and be all "Hey I know all those people!" Though I hesitated for a second at "Henry," lol.)
That is so awesome! Front-row seat to sensationalist scholarship! :D With a mix of German and English names, no less. (I guess it's good I told you that Braunschweig = Brunswick, otherwise that would be confusing now that you're going to see a bunch of Brunswicks.)
Btw, I totally think you should report back to us on the music aspects, when you have time, because I think we're all aware of my limitations there, and Blanning did have a good sizable section on that.
