I'm talking opera here folks Take the 1869 Moussorsky opera Boris Godunov: in the aria "dostig va vysshei vlasti" Boris asks the question "is 5wpm Godunov?" The answer alas is lost in antiquity. caio ----- Original Message ----- From: James Weaver To: arrl-odv Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 12:36 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:9940] Music to my ears Sandy, Sandy, How could you suggest in the slightest sense at all the il Barbiere di Siviglia and its famous recitative as "the" example of classic cries for the preservation of Morse Code. The cry originates in its most seductive and forceful form in Symphony No. 5 in C minor, op. 67 by the Master, Ludwig v. Beethoven which he completed in 1808. This was a full 8 years before than Rossini completed the Barber. Tsk, tsk. 73, Jim, K8JE AMATEUR RADIO: The only fail-safe communications system in the world. ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio is!
