It's a much needed book to have. Please, get it done, I know plenty of musicians and academies in Europe who would buy it immediately. Especially lately, more and more people rely on tuners or phone apps for intonation and they get used to play only equal temperament.

Eheh, I wish I knew all of this many years ago, before I started playing in orchestras. Are you ever going to publish your book about intonation? There's not a lot of material about this subject to be found (or that I know of) and it would be really useful to have some written reference to use when I teach. I'd like to send a copy to my current chief conductor :-P

Sorry, I don't want to force agricolture to buy seeds every year from your GMO companies. I don't want to destroy our history and top notch food products in the name of american money. But you don't understand, you're american, it's all about progress for you and changing the world like you change the place where you put your sofa. I'm Italian, I want to keep seeing people doing hard work to produce the amazing foods that we eat in the respect of nature, instead of being forced to eat dutch produced crap like I am now. Am I slowing progress down? yeah, yeah... good. Reading some of your answers one thing is clear, by the way: either you don't think about the consequences of your work, or you don't care. You may be a good scientist but for god's sake THINK about ethics once in your life. And I'm not even christian I'm a freakin atheist

Are you aware of the implications of introducing genetically tweaked species into the wild? At first I was like "yeah this guy is doing something good, the earth needs this kind of people" and then.. you talk about tweaking DNA to create fungus resistant frogs. It's clear, at least to me, that if you start playing with this things you risk to start a game much more difficult to play than what human kind is supposed to do. I don't think that creating "better" frogs will help the environment, instead it can cause an overpopulation of frogs with all the problems coming from it. You know what, actually the only thing we can do that will really help earth's ecology is to turn to green economy and leave nature alone.
