Something along the lines of, "Hey! >MY list of intervals is bigger than YOURS!" >Women have persistently called fsr more discussion of >aesthetc isses in microtonal music...

What in the world is "the Scarlet Aardvark" ? and: Hey! I like Bach, but does art have to be like sports? I see this in advertising for classical music all the time (and elsewhere...) The competitiveness makes me ill... Give it a rest folks! Art is not Sports! Although I'm not familiar with all of Brian's top 20, the "My Funny Valentine" variations are truly beautiful and I remember a Mayumi Reinhard piece (the fully 13-limit tuning, Kishtet?) for synth and bassoon that really knocked me out. The Blackwood, Lansky, Darreg, Sims, Varese, and Johnston pieces are quite fine too. And Johnny Reinhard's string quartet Cosmic Ray's gets plenty of play around here since it was on New Sounds. under 3 feet of snow in N.J. with a good supply of cassettes and dat, (I'm in big trouble if the power goes out! I might have to read a book or something.) happy new year forks, David Beardsley dmb5561719@aol.com ******************** coming soon: BINK Music!
