- A bit abrasive but I agree with you. How many pieces will be written
- according to a *innovated* mathematical pattern or fomula? How many to a
- reocuuring bit-pattern of semi-tonal hogwash? Or maybe something composed
- under a perceived relationship or influence of the lunar gravitational pull
- on Iowa? (graduate students take note). Yes, they may be interesting
- theoretically. But who cares? Does it SOUND GOOD???
