Thanks are due to Catherine and everyone else who contributed to this excellent and eclectic day of thought-provoking papers. It even included a live trans-Atlantic contribution. It is always nice to see what other students are pursuing in their research. I’m now in touch with a fellow-student, whom I had not previously met, discussing elements of mutual musico-philosophical interest. I am looking forwards to the next research day.
