was, of course, Stravinsky. He was only serial for a while, and almost never atonal--even when serial--so perhaps he doesn't qualify.
Wow, I love Stravinsky, do not care for Shokastovich at all, I suppose I do not care much for his brand of atonal music, but saying that even his early compositions IMO do not have the quality of the likes of Stravinsky and Prokofiev.

Shostakovich isn't even *close* to atonal, and my post was largely about Stravinsky.
Put to down to a lack of musical education, I was speaking with my foot in my mouth! That said I love Stravinsky, but do not care much for Shostokavich.

Shostakovich atonal? No.

Put it down to lack of knowledge on my side! Thanks for the correction. As an aside, I love a lot of Stravinsky's reportoire and conversely there is not much that I warm to in Shostakovich reportoire.

Sibelius home Ainola. From wikipedia "...designed by the famous Finnish architect Lars Sonck. The only requests Sibelius had for Sonck were to include both a lakefront view and a green fireplace in the dining room."Now I want a green fireplace. Don't tell me suggestion doesn't have its power. I could go for some Taco Bell too, now that I think about it. The clock strikes 12.
