The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

calling back
on: March 22, 2008, 04:36:53 PM
When someone calls you and you don't catch the phone and you don't answer, do you call him/her back? or does it depend on who the person is? or you you simply don't call back??

I think it's rude not to call someone back, it implicitly means "hey, I know you called but I don't care!"

If someone calls me and doesn't leave a message, I may or may not call back depending on who it is, why I think they're calling and the mood I'm in. After all, if they don't leave a message (my answering machine is always on, picks up after about 15 seconds) it suggests it wasn't important.

Mind you, once there was a call while I was in the bathroom. I emerged too late to catch it, checked the number that had rung, rang it back, got the 'engaged' signal - and by the time I managed to speak to the caller she had found someone else to do the three weeks' work she had wanted to offer me! Just goes to show you should always take the cordless phone into the bathroom.....
