>Let me just add that the title Reinhard choose for this thread
bothers me enormously. Its immediate implication is that anyone who
doesn't agree to Reinhard's interpretation is "unimaginative": Am I
the only one out there that has trouble imagining Mr. Ives agreeing to
such an authoritarian posture?

That was a title I used when I first gave a large quote from the
_MEMOS_ (TD 359.23). And it was taken from a bit in that very quote:

"and [even] on the piano the player sees that and feels that, it goes
into the general spirit of the music--though on the piano this is
missed by the unimaginative."

I had used it as that was the bit I was had first posted about (as a
half-remembrance from reading the _MEMOS_ many years ago) when this
thread began... My apologies for any unintentional confusion this may
have caused.
