Interesting to observe the ways in which the

Few bits we stuck around the British Museum today - place is huge and full of stolen treasures from other cultures and people.
Place would be empty only for the theft of everything they “discovered”….

Shibe continued his exploration of references to Bach's music with Villa-Lobos' impressionistic Prélude 3 (subtitle “Homenagem a Bach”) and some of his etudes: music that glistened on the surface, but in which Shibe always revealed an underlying ocean of complex meanings.
