On 15 May there was a big article about in the newspaper — in the Saturday supplement of the Deventer edition of the Dutch regional newspaper "De Stentor".

Article Stentor 15 May 2010
The reason for the article was my Classical Composers Database, which will exist 15 years coming August (http://www.classical-composers.org). My other occupations are also mentioned, and something is told about my background.

As far as I know, the article is not published online. Also there is no English version of it, just Dutch. A have added a picture of the article here. Click it for a larger version, which you can read (if you master Dutch).

As a specialist in (classical) music, Quixote wants to play a supportive role in all sorts of electronic publications, also when they are not related to music. No standard solutions, but tailor-made products, so that the customer will be able to identify himself with the resulting product. Based in The Netherlands, Quixote has a 10 year experience in all aspects of (electronic) publishing — in English! — and the Internet, gained in a big publishing company as well as privately. He is aware of the possibilities, the impossibilities and the traps.

Quixote's specialty is music. Apart from the fact that he knows a lot about (classical) music, he is also active as a passionate amateur musician: he plays the piano, sings, makes arrangements and composes. He also has experience with typesetting professional sheet music, and products related to music, like program notes.

Because of his long experience in a publishing company, where he improved his eye for detail and aesthetics, you can expect high-quality products, but at very affordable prices.

Among the products that Quixote can offer you are:

• Providing information about classical composers and their music via the Internet, either through my Classical Composers Database or in different ways
• Typesetting of sheet music electronically
• Typesetting publications about music or otherwise: layout, proof reading
