Re: Rossi

I?ve also been on the sidelines reading along - but often that?s where I 
should be, so not to compare with a scholar?s statement of being on the 
sidelines - but have one comment as to why some may simply enjoy laying claim 
to Rossi?s music as ?ours.? Way back as a college student studying trio 
sonata after trio sonata I was ecstatic to learn that there was a Jew out 
there composing ?alongside? all the Christian fellas. After performing so 
many of these kinds of pieces, from Hotteterre to Vivaldi and in between, I 
revelled in the idea that there was someone Jewish who was actually an 
innovator in the late Renaissance/early Baroque form of the Trio Sonata. 
Nothing Jewish sounding for sure. That didn?t matter to me; I had found a 
connection where I least expected it!
