Hey - did you write the article on Rachmaninoff in the '55 Grove's Dictionary?

You remember that - the article that discussed Rachmaninoff's mediocre, trite, and inconsequential music, and predicted that his music would quickly fall by the wayside. After all, it shared the same kind of vulgarity with Hollywood movie music. True connoisseurs would never lower their standards to accept music like Rachmaninoff's.

Are you still waiting for this to happen? ;-)

from several earlier posts by Amphissa. You don't think I could come up which such incisive prose, do you? I just substituted "Rachmaninoff" for "Shostakovich".

  Of course, Amphissa is correct - those terms more properly apply to Shostakovitch! ;-)
