Times AFMM review

Pardon me for nitpicking...

I believe that's not a typo but rather a difference between
British and American terminology.

Griffith's book _Modern Music: the avant garde since 1945_
uses British terms such as 'minim, crotchet, quaver' where
Americans would use 'half-note, quarter-note, eighth-note'.

Similarly, British terminology has 'note' for most of the
cases where Americans use 'tone', as in Schoenberg's '12-note
method'.

Since the article was written for the _*New York* Times_,
I suppose he should be using American terminology...
(old habits die hard, perhaps?...)

And boy, talk about microtonalists living out in the boondocks!
(a reference to my response to David Beardsley about my book)
Glassboro may be a college-town, but it's pretty remote...

BTW, since I felt it was a healthy supplement to the information
I already have about my book, I've put that response to Dave up
on a webpage, with links to the Microtonal Dictionary and other
websites:
