Is "Episodes from a Memory Bank" a book title?

No, it's from an online music magazine called Music and Vision

Should that be

Prior to WWI

Book & magazine titles need to be in italics, so I'll add the tags

Prior to both WWI and WWII in fact, as it was still the practice during the 1930s.

Good morning Maestro

<> how big is that, timewise? It should either be in quotes or italics, I just don't know which one.

<>
You have no idea of the image which those words put in my headlots of Albert Einstein-types in dress coates
By "unruly" do you mean misbehaved? Unco-operative?

coates? I mean coatsto refresh

Hi GB *waves*

I not clear on why you think that the length of Bax's Fourth Symphony is relevant. I don't know off the top of my head, I would have to look it up.

The Fourth Symphony should probably be in italics, in which case so should (Britten's) Violin Concerto.

Unruly - misbehaved yes, unco-operative yes, undisciplined yes, thoroughly unprofessional yes. Bad orchestra, now sit!!!

Difficult to communicate via a monitor

What I meant was, in subbing we have to put song titles into inverted commas, and book/magazine titles/titles of CDs etc., in italics tags. I was wondering what to put a Symphony as, and I'm leaning towards italics.

Sorry about the twenty questionsI just want to get everything right before it hits the FP,

Bad orchestra!It must have been a nightmare.

and , yummy.

Italics it is then. btw did you notice that Whipsnade Zoo is 80 today?

You know, I am trying to behave professionally in my sub-editor's hatbut if you insist on feeding me left-over and engaging me in idle chat, we are not going to get any work done today. And if you ever told ~me~ that I was bad and order me to sit!!! I'd have to you and such behaviour belongs in your Fan Club...

*tries to look *

*fails miserably*

*hangs head and slinks off into a corner*

Awwwwwwwwww!!

*drags h5ringer out of corner*

Better?

to add footnote about bad orchestra

Cameron returned permanently to England before the Second World War to guest conduct various British orchestras, and became Sir Henry Wood's assistant conductor at the London Promenade concerts. It is with the London Philharmonic Orchestra that he came to be most associated.

That's under the "America" header, shall I make a subheader "Return to England" or something else?

This was the first work Britten completed after his departure for the United States in 1939, and it received its world premiere there 12 months earlier.

Should that be "12 months later"?

<>
Don't think this needs a separate heading of its own. Move the paragraph down into the "War Years" section.

<>
No it is earlier. The world permiere took place in New York in March 1940, 12 months before Cameron's performance.
btw Violin Concerto should be in italics

I get what you are saying but it reads like the premiere was 12 months prior to 1939.

This was the first work Britten completed after his departure for the United States in 1939, and it received its world premiere there in March 1940 ??

The Violin Concerto is already in italics, or have I missed something?

I'll move the section about returning to England when I get home

Gottasorry

How about...
This was the first work Britten completed after his departure for the United States in 1939, and it had received its world première in New York at the end of March 1940.

Yes, Violin Concerto ok

Have a good lunch

Where was I? Oh yes

Well Maestro, I'm done subbing, I'm just adding links, so if you'd like to give it the once-over? Put me over your knee if there's anything you disagree with



I meanjust tell me and I'll correct it
