hm. some people in my choir knew that i was worried about dr. daverio. i just got a very lovely e-mail from one of them - offering his condolences. but he says, "I know you knew him well and had a special relationship with him..." um. no, not really. i knew him, yes, i took two classes with him, i respected and admired him and liked him. he taught me everything i know about brahms and about the history and development of the concerto. but no, we didn't really have a 'special' relationship. i guess it would be weird to correct that perception though. might as well just thank him for his kind words.
