disappoint. The oddest case was Dvorak,
whose opus numbers and symphony numbers you
just can't trust, partially from a multiplicity
of publishers and partially because the composer
just didn't seem to care.

I'd heard that he had made what he considered a disadvantageous
agreement with one publisher, and fooled with his own opus numbers to
make it so that another publisher would be allowed to print something
current instead of sending to the first....

I was unclear ... he might have cared about the
financial consequences (and who doesn't), but he
didn't care about the historical record.

That's the main thing. Someone asked Dr. Suzuki
what his role in education was; the reply was,
I am the head of the largest amateur musician
factory in the world.

Sounds accurate to me. :) Not that it's a bad thing to have amateur musicians.... :)

The movement was suborned by people with greater
ambitions than that (including friends of mine),
which led to a certain sag in musical integrity,
but now the Suzuki and other methods have
integrated into an uneasy amalgamation that
seems to do more good than harm.

Goya (Bitter Melon) Chips
categories: Snack, Japanese
yield: 1 batch

1 bitter melon
potato starch
olive oil
salt
lime

Cut bitter melon into half lengthwise and scoop out
all the seeds and spongy white fibers. Slice 1/4".
Massage the sliced bitter melon with 1/2 ts salt.
Soak in water for 10 min to remove some bitterness.
Drain and pat dry.

Put in Ziploc with starch and shake to coat.

Heat olive oil enough to cover the bottom of the
pan and turn on the heat. Line up the bitter melon
in the pan and fry until slightly golden brown. Flip
and fry the other side. Drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, sprinkled with salt and lime juice.
