I like to blame the publishers, but you
already knew that.

Yup. :)

Good composers create and will do whatever it
takes to make music. Good publishers make money
for themselves and their authors and will do
whatever it takes to make a profit. It's all
understandable, but I'm definitely on the one side.

Hard for anyone, let alone himself, to ignore, as he
taught at the conservatory in Prague and later New York.
His most eminent pupil, Josef Suk, married his daughter.

Yes, I know. And in New York, was a proponent of American composers
using American musical idioms in their works... :)

And led by example with the American Quartet, the
New World Symphony, the American Suite, the American
Flag, and the less known but perhaps best of all the
American Quintet.

described here, outgrew her Suzukiness and
became a pretty good musician.

Indeed a good thing... :)

I'm glad to have been a small part of her
well-rounding-out as a violinist.

It's a nice feeling to know that one has been a help.... :)

I was very proud when she was appointed concertmaster
of the New World Symphony but lost touch with her
thereafter - she became too high-budget for me anyhow.

There are those who say, and I'm inclined to
believe them, that it's more the temptation and
the opportunity to overdo it that makes HFCS
dangerous. Same with white sugar. Pleasing high
concentrate carbs.

It certainly makes things worse to overdo on them.... Once I'm a little better stablilized, I may experiment with drinking my beloved Cherry
Coke again and see if there still seems to be the direct relationship
between the two.... the raised BGs and the HFCS ingestion...

Coke does hit the system hard and fast. It's
probably better left for the young 'uns.

True.... some things are harder to really take in the big picture....

Wherein I think lies the danger of letting
machines do any important work or that
requires any kind of judgment.

Exactly.

And even we skeptics often take for granted
that what the machine says is real or true.

Indeed, it's important to have good raw materials to start with... :)

Less good food is not altogether insuperable.

True, but it takes a bit more effort... and/or skill... ;)

Good household management minimizes the
availability of less good raw materials.
The best maximizes the use of even those.

... Hearts are still red muscle meat, a sort of gateway offal.

So they are.

Too bad so many aren't even willing to try them... ;)

I'd say "more for us," but that isn't true -
much of that good offal goes into pet food.

... Nothing's impossible for those who don't have to do it.

Bear in mind what I said about administrators!

I suppose we need the publishers so that the music gets disseminated...
but the composers are the important part, really... :)

Was that last a piano quintet....? and are you just tossing in the
flag, or did he write something called that....? The rest I definitely recognize... :)

Oh, well...

Coke does hit the system hard and fast. It's
probably better left for the young 'uns.

The caffeine has never been the issue for me... in fact, it had been one
of the primary parts of my pain control.... I recently found some Coke
made with cane sugar instead of HFCS (not touted as Kosher, just on the
shelf with the other Coke products)... comes in California Raspberry and Georgia Peach flavors... It's a 4-pack... and a bit more expensive, but
I've been getting it recently.... I prefer the raspberry flavor, and I
drink it sparingly (one 12 oz bottle will last me a couple/three days),
but at least I get a little of the coke and the caffeine back....

True.... some things are harder to really take in the big picture....

I try to guard against that... :)

Yeah, I know.... sigh....

Yup. I was thinking along those lines....
