The Fantasy is the only A-list work in the list - Schumann's sonatas are somewhat awkward, backward-looking works, which is generally true of all post-Beethoven works other than Schubert's that carry the title. Chopin's sonatas don't count because he never really listened to or absorbed Beethoven. T...

Heroin prices have done nothing but decline over the last 30 years which proves the total failure of the DEA and prohibition in general http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT6IwwAhYY6Wlcn2-bvvAq65SVIttN6m3tK59RNgoMgDtby8LqHzA The US should follow the Swiss model and simply administer pharmaceuti...

Interjecting for whatever it's worth, I looked up dates, and Mahler's first (1888) was only three years after Brahms's fourth, and nine years before Brahms died. Yet I have great difficulty thinking of Mahler as a 19th century composer [...] I have the opposite difficulty: he doesn't strike me at a...

Bach / Webern

Schumann/Mahler not that Schumann deserved a reputation as a poor orchestrator and Mahler made only slight changes to mainly reflect changes in instruments

Pergolesi / Stravinsky

Jobim / Stan Getz

Emblematic of both the brutality and the desperation of the Soviets, in he early part of the war they employed mine dogs. These dogs had explosive charges strapped to their backs and were trained to run under German tanks where a trigger on the charge would detonate it. With fuel scarce the dogs wer...

Hard to imagine how feeling the vibration of a speaker cone could be that profound of an experience, seems like she is just marketing herself and telling people what they wanted to hear.

Ah so. I wonder if they really maxed out their supporters just keeping the company's bottom line in the black, or if a separate campaign to increase the endowment might have worked. We'll never know, I guess. Got to be simply bad management like the NY City Opera the SD Symphony went bankrupt in th...

No endowment was the problem - as of 12/31/11 they had only $2.8 million, a paltry sum. Houston Grand Opera had 46 million and the Met had $283 million. Basically you have to run a nonprofit so that at a minimum, current donors on average bequeath a sufficient multiple (say 20x) of their annual givi...

One of the advantages of BIG BOX recycling is the PRICE! Normally, CDs retailing at $16 or more for a single CD, this would be a bargain-and-a-half especially if one is interested in the magnitude of the conductor's art. One does have to watch the pricing, however. Amazon is asking - I think - $175...

Messiaen showed no great heroism during the war and occupation. He was more concerned with saving his own skin, but he was not a collaborator or sympathetic to the Nazis. You have to make a distinction between a dogmatic religious disdain of Judaism with a racial hatred of Jews. While Messiaen had t...

Heroin is the most lethal substance on the planet, maybe, like River Phoenix, it will strike home some sort of warning, the stuff kills, it killed many of my friends.
