If it weren't so late (for a working guy) I'd be reading more -- I see you also liked Gann's article on Feldman. I hope this sounds like a compliment to him because that's what I mean, but I had my first root canal the other day and I came home with a numb face and my painkillers and I thought, I have to listen to Morton Feldman. I pulled String Quartet #2 off the shelf. Anyway -- I enjoyed the technical aspects of your write-up, since it's not my vantage point. Thanks.<BR/>And I did make plans with Mike to go to at least the Friday Other Minds concert -- I may make the Saturday one as well. (Thursday is difficult because of work.) Maybe I just haven't met the right piece of electronic music yet. . . Anyway, the new stuff is always a plunge into the deep end. I'm looking forward to it.Patrick J.

Others involve the Del Sol Quartet, the Adorno Ensemble, plenty of piano music, and two solo cellists of international fame.

Am I misreading it? Please tell me I'm misreading it.Patrick J.
