A flurry of recent papers by a variety of auditors inspired by the renaissance of deformation quantization shows a remarkable ommission of references to several classic results. This paper will be an attempt to recall some lost memories. math-ph/0507021 [abs, ps, pdf, other] : Title: Quantization on Curves Authors: Christian Fronsdal (UCLA), Maxim Kontsevich (IHES) Comments: 20 pages, LaTex format math.AG/0506603 [abs, ps, pdf, other] : Title: Lectures on Noncommutative Geometry Authors: Victor Ginzburg Comments: Preliminary draft, 124pp. Comments are welcome!
