Hello everyone, 
This is Laurene, Jean-François’s daughter. 
I just wanted to tell you that my father past away in September. 
I know he really liked to read your mails and was still very interested in Baroque Lute, despite the disease. 
He also gathered a very high work about Lute music, and if some of you are interested in some part of this music, please tell me.
Me and my mum really want his work and music to keep living. 

My e-mail address is [email-masked]

Best regards, 
Laurène Christoflour

Dear Laurene,
please accept my most heartfelt condolences!
Your father was my very first virtual friend, and our friendship was the 
first ever to be devirtualized into a real one.
I will miss him greatly!
Best regards,

here's a translation of the last 4 paragraphs:
   "....Giazotto--contrived
   by the author to seem to be by Albinoni--or perhaps to resemble the
   hackneyed and fascinating Adagio for Strings of Samuel Barber. Its
   compelling presence suggests one or the other, or perhaps still another
   composer of those obligatory works that get brought into play on
   ceremonial occasions of institutional mourning.
   In accord with what happened with the celebrated piece of Giazotto, the
   clearly improbable provenance of which was deliberately hidden, we
   recall the original case of the north American composer of Ukrainian
   origin, Roman Turovsky-Savchuk. It is he who, in implicit disguise, is
   behind a long list of tombeaux written in baroque style with the highly
   baroque pseudonyms of an imaginary family of Bohemian lute players, the
   Sautscheks (Johann Geog, Johann Melchior, Johann Peter...)
   The works are disseminated on the internet, where they receive a
   passionate response for, among other things, their unquestionable
   musical quality. The body of work of this suggestive historical game
   includes a good number of pieces of fiction cleverly similar in their
   style. They are dedicated by the Sautscheks to deceased members of
   their own family, to central European composers of the first rank (CPE
   Bach, JCF Bach, Locatelli, Tuma, Kraus, Wagenseil, Zelenka and--a nice
   touch--several to Froberger) as well as to other relevant personalities
   of the cultured world of the eighteenth century (Goldoni, Lessing,
   Klopstock). But now Turovsky-Savchuk adds two more tombeaux, this time
   conceived for the viola and dedicated to Telemann and Forqueray.
   Let us finish by returning to all the strings. To the cry of agony of
   the works of Penderecki, to the stream of tears of Barber, played on
   the baroque lute of Turovsky-Savchuk or, as well, on the arabic lute of
   Sanchez Verdu. They are equal if they are anything. They grasp at life
   as its sounds evaporate.They grasp at the sound that dies, never to be
   reborn. One perceives the mythic lyre of Orpheus grieving for Euridice.
   And also the Seikilos epitaph, calling to Euterpe from the living
   world. But above all, one remembers the weeping strings of the guitar
   to which Lorca alludes, the tears which Estrella Morente evokes,
   wailing ceaselessly before the tomb of his artist father.
   Pablo de Pozo"
