It is the author's intent that they be spelled with accents whenever possible (e.g., gateau, tete-a-tete). ===================================================================== PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION "Violists" began to germinate early in December last, as Christmas approached. I originally intended that it be ready before the new year, but alas, it came in behind schedule, and was not completed until January. It is still winter in some places--the right season for such morsels--so rather than let the work languish upon the shelf for another year... Somewhere out there on The Net, I hope there is a solitary reader settled comfortably in a warm study with a nice cup of tea. Perhaps the lights are out, and the amber glow of the terminal spreads faint warmth through the room; overstuffed bookshelves loom behind in the darkness. If the evening air is crisp and a soft snow is falling outside the window, so much the better--a view of icicles would be a magical touch. -- Richard McGowan San Jose, California January 22, 1994 ===================================================================== VIOLISTS by Richard McGowan (Opus 22) 1.
