In Reply to: Rochberg didn't really write in Beethoven's or Mahler's styles posted by rbolaw on July 7, 2016 at 06:37:26:
I'm not talking about quotations, I'm talking about composing in the style of an earlier period or another composer (or at least trying to), as Rochberg did. Forgive my being slow on the uptake, but I guess I'm hung up with your statement about disappointing imperfect copies (of earlier styles styles and composers).
