Donna	Oshkosh	It would be nice if these could be repeated some time. I missed a few. It was suggested for Saturday morning requests, but I believe that most of these are too long for this time slot. They usually want shorter pieces - unless during the summer, for instance, one of these would be done every Saturday. Please publicize this if it would be possible. Donna, Thanks for the idea, but we have a one-time broadcast agreement with Christopher Taylor. So as much as we've all enjoyed hearing them in rapid succession this month, that will have to be it. We're not allowed to repeat them. We appreciate your taking time to ask.
Anna	The Web	Will it be possible to purchase these recordings from WPR or the School of Music? As of now, the School of Music doesn't have any of these performances available for purchase. I am sure it will be a matter for discussion and that it will take a source of funding to produce even a portion of the sonatas on CD. We will certainly publicize any future release. Meantime, you may peruse the titles available through the School of Music's online CD store at www.music.wisc.edu where two other recordings by Professor Taylor are listed.

Anonymous	The Web	Will you be airing the Christopher Taylor performances any other time than during the middle of the work day? We've placed a few on the weekends. One every Sunday and the largest sonata in the collection, #29, the Hammerklavier will be Saturday May 24 at 1pm.
