Rosemary Brown has a great holiday of Easter with family in Wales. Beethoven and Liszt came to see, which would soon forget the cold she had caught during a trip to Devil's Bridge. The presence of the composers was nothing extraordinary, says Ms. Brown. Liszt, in particular, is one of his oldest friends.
It appeared the first time (whatever she does is not immediately identified) when she was 7 years, promising to send him to music when she grew up. He reappeared many years later, in 1964, and since he regularly visits at her home in Balham, south London. TV inspires sometimes caustic comments.
"I think that TV would have been a good medium for him," says Ms. Brown without a shadow of a smile. "It is also very interested in space travel. It is a very generous man, very cultured, very devout. "And also very organized. Past six years, he has presented Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Grieg, Rachmaninoff, Schubert and Schumann.
One after another, those masters have dictated to Ms. Brown's original compositions, some of which will be published this week [early April 1970] on his first album. Which has a generous offer at Philips Records, which has cautiously entitled "Music of Rosemary Brown ... inspired by Liszt, Chopin, etc.." Such caution is understandable, even if no one doubts the sincerity of Mrs Brown .
Our medium is estimated that these great composers use the deceased as both receiver and transmitter as. So far it has received more than 400 compositions, and somewhere in the afterlife composers are lining up to give him more. "He has all sorts of people who call themselves composers, she says.

Chopin then said something in a language that seemed to be Polish. I memorized the words and I translated the following day.
Chopin said: 'Go away'. "Every composer, provides Brown has his way of working. "Liszt took control of my hands," she continues. He uses them as gloves. I play music several times, then I write. Chopin blows me notes on the piano and put my fingers on the correct keys. If it's a song, Schubert tries to sing, but he has not a very good voice.
Beethoven and Bach prefer that I'm sitting at table with paper and pencil - and then they give me the key, tempo, his left hand and right hand.
