Hello--this is EstellaB from ffnet :-) I don't think I ever actually stopped by here after I got your message last year, which was my loss because this is lovely, but I was doing some ffnet admin this morning and I came across it again! Coincidentally I have been listening to some old Desert Island Discs episodes from the late 70s recently, which makes it even easier to picture this--and I like your picks for Dorothea very much. If she had to pick just one of the records, which would she have chosen?
(PS I love the idea of the teachers banning Fur Elise because they were tired of hearing it. That's the most middle-class fictional anecdote I've ever heard and gives a fantastic snapshot of Dorothea's upbringing).
