Kyle on Bartok

>Oh, BTW: "the best I can say for [Webern] is, he was an awfully good
>composer for a musicologist." You mean like Bartok?

Bartok, like myself, was a composer who became a musicologist. Webern was a musicologist who took up composing.

Thanks,

Kyle

Hello Kyle!

Once again like myself but more toward ethnomusicology. i have thought that this is a natural balence to being a composer.
To balence the "creation of the new" with the "preservation of the old".
next i'll find out you are left handed
