Pierre de France (Continue)

We have received another electronic communications from Jean-Fran�ois Grancher who is unhappy with us for various reasons, not least of which is the fact that I mistook his apparently well-known nom de plume--Voya Toncitch--for the name of a translator. I regret the mistake and promise to do penance by listening to two hours of Charles Wuorinen music at the next available opportunity. Here is Monsieur Grancher's reponse in full:

From a certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher who apparently lives in Malta and has time on his hands

Ladies and gentlemen,

This is to inform you that a certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher is the legal name of Voya Toncitch who never stated that he had translated his article into English. A certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher writes in French, English and Portuguese and signs his musicological essays Voya Toncitch and his articles published in the newspapers Jean-Fran�ois Grancher. He has no Web site. A Google search "voya toncitch" would be more appropriate, because you received the article from Voya Toncitch.

The French word of Greek origin �pigone (noun) and �pigonal,e (adjective) is present in the English literature since the Shakespeare era (written with or without accent) as well as other French words, like: nom de plume, ensemble, f�te (always written with accent), �lite (with or without accent)� and d�lit d�opinion (a certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher, who apparently lives in Malta and had time on his hands, committed according to your readers).

As to their comments, which range from a disgustingly pretentious lesson of zoological anatomy inspired by a crass ignorance to the typical anti-French hysteria inspired ignoble gibberish in backveld-English and some totally out of place ridiculous and odious comparisons, you certainly know why you published them. They think that you should not have published my article. Mr. Boulez�s detractors would be pleased if you deleted it. Please, do not hesitate to discard it. It is already published in USA and Portugal. A certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher who lives in Malta and has time on his hands is wondering whether he is becoming of Sequenza21. However, he remains grateful to you, because you embellished the title of his article and transformed it into "Pierre de France is Number One"

A certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher who apparently lives in Malta and has time on his hands and who will never more disturb you thinks that your comment between the title and the text of his article is somehow irreverent towards the greatest living musician of our time.

Sincerely

A certain Jean-Fran�ois Grancher who lives in Malta and APPARENTLY has time on his hands
Honestly, I feel terrible and I sincerely hope Monsieur Grancher does not follow through on his threat not to share his thoughts with us from time to time.
