***Thanks for posting these, Joel. I like to think that I read
through the New Music Box stuff carefully, but I missed these,
usually just reading through the *main* interview and
associated "history" section...

James Reel's piece seemed a little rudimentary for an article that,
ostensibly, is read mostly by composers. Otherwise Ok.

Sandow's thing on comparing serialism and abstract painting was quite
silly. The final article was more interesting, but I couldn't
believe that as a "professional reviewer" he got the Schoenberg quote
wrong about German supremacy in music for 1000 years, rather than
100. That's rather thinking on a "grand" scale...

There was some *alternate tuning* discussion at the end of the second
Sandow article, so I guess this is still on topic, only just
marginally.

Interesting contributions on the overall...

Any more on "MetaTuning..."
