RE: Messiaen Repertoire Link

Hi Robert, I was just wondering if you had had been able to reevaluate the removal of our link to our Messaen repertoire page. I don't know if you had seen on the discussion page but someone has supported our argument. We are very confident this is just one of many that regularly use this part of our website. We strongly feel that this is an essential reference for student and professional percussionists. Please let me know if we can re-post our link as being Messiean's centenery I'm sure there's a number of people who would benefit from the information we are providing, Many thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellperc (talk • contribs) 5 February 2008

I am not convinced sufficiently to add it back myself, but if you insert it again I certainly shan't remove it. I notice that the link now lists 12 pieces rather than just 6, which is an improvement: any chance of updating the list to make it more comprehensive? Les offrandes oubliées, Concert à quatre, Saint-François, Des canyons aux étoiles stand out as missing after a cursory glance - do you sell geophones? I appreciate your careful, polite approach, thank you. --RobertG ♬ talk 18:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The most likely explanation is that your browser has cached the older version of the page. Try refreshing the page in your browser (go to the Messiaen article, and then do something like hold down <Ctrl> and hit <F5>). I can see the link, so it's definitely there!
