I guess I lost sight of that.

Perhaps it will work better for me in it's original form. Lest people say "What a Maroon", I'll
say what the kids say "My Bad" !

And if they don't make any difference, that's fine too.

In any form, Barber's basically one idea is no match for the multifariousness of even the simplest of Beethoven's quartet movements.

But, Barber's quartet movement in its orchestral guise is almost as well-known as the average Beethoven "household name" masterpiece.

Perhaps the lesson is, sometimes people don't want to be thundered at, they just want a warm bath of sound.

  I suppose that is a fair observation, but the unfortunate thing is the number of people
  who have much more familiarity with Beethoven's "power movements" than his wonderfully
  introspective "inner movements" (we can thank the advertising executives in part for that
  reality)
