Has anyone noticed how many topics and names of composers that are mentioned on this site are picked up by Google?.  That can only be a good thing but it is a little frustrating when researching to get back to ones own quote!

It was thanks to google that I found this excellent site.

I think I was researching Zelenski PC and unsung came up on the 2nd or 3rd page.

The obscurity of the composers we discuss I guess is always going to ensure that one finds ones own quotes on the first few google pages.

I too stumbled upon this site through researching something (or someone) obscure.

Rather than being irritated by it, i get a small sense of self-satisfaction when Google picks-up something I have posted somewhere on the internet. How important I must be!  8)

I too have noticed and assume that some of the material that we do discuss is so obscure it is picked up by Google. I'm sure if we were discussing Beethoven's fifth we would see nothing.

Oh we'd see something on Beethoven's 5th.  If you want to go all the way to page 565! :)

It is the obscurity that makes this place far more interesting than all other music based forums I have visited.

However, at the first mention of "Waldstein" or "Raindrop", I will be off.

What?  We can't talk about the 'Waldstein' Concerto, or the 'Raindrop' Etude?!  ;D

Nice one Jim.

Amazingly, in one of the forums I belong to we had a moonfright sonata.
