Incorporate a fine review, by Michael McDonagh re Jed Distler's 9/11 program, into the November 2011 issue of 21st-Century Music, along with the daily update, and listen to / watch this year's red-letter Met production of Richard Strauss's Capriccio (1942), while multi-tasking re...

Pdf of Sinfonietta: IV

Joe Klein's Primary Colors (somehow of similar hue).
