- And there's the funeral music for double chorus, lost since Forkel's
- time. I also heard that most of Teleman's music was destroyed. I never
- heard whether these were the only sources or merely the autographs of

- I'm quite an organ buff. I can only imagine how many fine organs were
- destroyed throughout Germany and Europe. Does anyone have a list?
