[String Quartets Opus 14; Third Book of Quartets; Apollon Quartet; Avenira 276011 (2005)]

The French translation of the AfriClassical.com essay on Joseph de Bologne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799) is the work of Daniel G. Marciano, Professor Emeritus of French at the University of Franche-Comté, in Besançon, France. He has written plays and an historical novel, Le chevalier de Saint-Georges, le fils de Noémie (The Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Son of Noémie). He is also co-author of a book on theatrical fencing.

We were pleased and proud to learn that a French paragraph at AfriClassical.com, on the birth of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, is linked to a French course syllabus for Spring 2008 at Temple University in Philadelphia. The link appears in a syllabus section dealing with the 18^th Century in France: http://isc.temple.edu/grosia/crn_024714_french_c070.htm We congratulate Prof. Marciano on this additional evidence of the significance of his scholarly translation.
