Visiting the music Stamp Exhibition (Oct..27th, 2012)

It's around the end of October, however this is the first time to write a blog this month as I've been so busy preparing and editing "The Stampedia Philatelic Journal 2012".

Well now I've returned to my daily philately and I've been to the Music Stamps Show this weekend. It was not a competition and small exhibition. I didn't know Mr. Onuma, my friend in thematic philately is the chairman of this music stamp society until I visit this time. He exhibited 2 frames collection of traditional philately, German stationeries of Beethoven, which is also used for single stamps such as 8 pfenniges issued in 1927. According to Micheel, there're 73 kinds of this stationeries issued, so I feel Mr. Onuma will exhibit them at some competition in the future. 

I've got also interested in Mr.Nakadate's work ”Overture 1812" which tells a story of Napoleon's life and I spent more than half a hour to see this work.
