Thanks for the note.  As I have already discovered, the Molokans are a very
sensitive and private group of people.  I believe it would be improper for me
to continue discussion about them on the net from now on.  I hope you and any
other interested parties understand.

"A composer of the past conceived his works in terms of the musical sounds of
his own day, just as a twentieth-century composer does, and if we are to do
justice to old music we must do our best to discover what these sonorities
were.  ...The so-called Bach trumpet of the present day (valved) is only half
the length of an eighteenth-century instrument, and its tone can never have the
ringing quality of its ancestor."
