Back when European countries had their own currencies, I would take home any notes with composers on them. As mementos goes, these were a lot more expensive than postcards, but infinitely more valuable. The mere appearance of Debussy and Bartok on paper money was evidence enough that France and Hungary must be outstanding nations. Today comes news that suggests maybe we’re in their league.
