I have updated the Web site Musica Mecanica, with some events to come
(auctions, exhibitions, etc.), and added a few museums and links, and made
some web site address corrections. The information is given, as before,
in 3 languages : English, French, and German
Please e-mail me if you see any errors or omissions. Thanks.
(The German version will be improved within a few days).
And thank you to everyone who, pointed out to me some errors (mostly
incorrect phone numbers) or gave me information (especially Hauke Marxsen
and Marc Laruelle).
