Excuse me for the typo: Copland, of course, not Copeland. I knew it was wrong when I typed it.

I love this program of Copeland. Each piece is beautiful and beautifully played. However, I particularly like the Copeland songs, since I grew up on them. My father loved them, and I listen to the CD made from the original recording regularly.

In the discussion, no one seemed to think the "Artful dodger" could be translated into a European language. Yet in French there is a clear expression for this expression, in exactly the way the songs describe: dodger also means a trickster, "roublard" or "filou" and the expression "he's a bit of an artful dodger,.." is translated in my slang dictionary as "il n'a pas les deux pieds dans le meme sabot," - he doesn't have his two feet in the same clog..." In general trickster would be the equivalent.
