Why the "[sic]" for "timbre"? It's used and spelled correctly. (Yes, it's pronounced "tamber", but it's spelled with an "i" all the same. The "re" at the end is also standard; "timber" isn't an alternative unless you're talking about fallen trees.) This nitpick aside (unless I'm wrong and have the pleasure of learning something new), it's a nice essay.
Appreciated the correction! Every blessing, Dennis. I'm getting used to being corrected; I'd predicted Trump was going to lose, for crying out loud! :)

Thanks Dennis! I hadn't looked it up and assumed it was a British spelling. Learn something new every day! :) Thanks again.
The "er" vs. "re" issue never bothered me, but that a word pronounced "tamber" was spelled with an "i" scandalized me when I first learned it. :)
Good observation, Dennis. I think you're right.
