In Reply to: RE: Huh? So because some "qualified" criticism is off base......... posted by Rick W on November 18, 2014 at 11:09:10
I said nothing about a critic's writing ability. It was the content embedded in the critics' comments quoted in Slonimsky that I deem pertinent...as it is in any criticism, whether of composition or performance, I consider.

Ahh, the subject of my post was the Thomson quote and the idea that writing ability/style is the most important aspect of reviewing rather than knowing what you're talking about. Apparently I missed your point and still do, or you missed mine and still do - or both.I don't waste my time trolling.

"I've never read any of his writing."
You might find his American Music Since 1910 an instructive, and pertinent, read.

Seems I've heard of the Slonimsky book before and taken the same note to myself in the past. Time to do something about it.
