Last week, I was almost certain the quote was by I.S., who was born on the golf of Finland, near Saint Petersburg. I thought that the quote was from the end of the Donald Mitchell's Language of Modern Music book ... which it wasn't, when I checked this weekend. I.S., in fact, apparently had unkind things to say about Xenakis, Boulez, Britten, and [one other].<BR/><BR/>The fact that it was by S.R. is very fascinating to me, though I do believe that I may have read that quote somewhere and sometime!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for not waiting two or more weeks to announce the answer!<BR/><BR/>*<BR/><BR/>Happy and rewarding spring travels to you and your wife, S.<BR/><BR/>*<BR/><BR/>[Like S.R., my wife and step-son were both born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine.]Garth Trinklhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11084463787729969177noreply@blogger.com
