Hello everyone!
Last February Alan Howe kindly let this forum know about my ebook on 20th C romantic music:
www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,5472.msg57610.html#msg57610
Unfortunately, there is now a 24pg pdf article afloat on the web dealing with the same topic. If any of you have seen this article, (entitled The XXth Century Romantic Revival Issues. Scriabin's and Glazunov's Cases), you should know that about 80 percent of it consists of substantial passages directly taken (and slightly reworded) from my book. The scholar and pianist Dr. Andreea Bratu (Ovidius University in Constanta) wrote the article and presented it at an international conference in St. Petersburg in October. It was then published by the European Skryabin Society at componisten.net
www.componisten.net/downloads/Scriabin's%20and%20%20Glazunov's%20cases.pdf).
Andreea Bratu has received letters from me as well as my Doktorvater in Germany but in a return email this morning has denied that anything is wrong. So as protection of my writing, and to throw the issue in front of the public court of opinion so to speak, the following link will show 20 pages worth of comparative passages (I did not catalogue the whole article). http://www.herbertpauls.com/dr-andreea-bratu-ovidius-university-plagiarizes-two-centuries-in-one.html
Cheers!
Herb
