>>>>bachmidi.html takes a long
time to load. What do you think
 I should put on a seperate page<<<<

IMHO, everything under:
"Druck; Druck- und Verlagshaus Beltz-R=FCbelmann/Hemsbach
                          Printed in Germany"
can go on it's own page.  The Contents, etc could go on it's own page. Ma=
ny of=0Athe icons, pics and banners are added "fluff" and you may want to=
 pick and=0Achoose what is important. It's all the little pics that incre=
ase the download=0Atime. I allowed the page to start loading, and stopped=
 it after counting to=0A20, what hadn't loaded yet were most of these pic=
s.

Clicking on "Contents" in the left frame reloaded the first page. You mig=
ht=0Awant to at least add an anchor to the actual "Contents" so that it p=
uts that=0Ainfo at top of page. (Or, it's own page...)

The text lines in the left frame are WAY long, had to resize the frame to=
 half=0Athe entire page size to see it all. 

>>>an entry (click here to enter) page?<<<
It just adds one more page to wait to download, and adds more user clicks=
=0Abefore they find their information.  Not really needed for this type o=
f site.
But...
Lots and lots of information here, and it is organized rather well consid=
ering=0Aits size. But, providing ALL of the information up front is not r=
eally=0Aneccessary.  A more simple outline of the site up front, and grea=
ter detail on=0Aselection of "content" "index" etc might be helpful for d=
ownload time and=0Ageneral simplification of site search.

I like the colors and  graphics. The text was easy to read and info very=
=0Athorough. Obviously lots of work time put in on this. Good job, good l=
uck...
