   Right! Let's get some discussions of classical music going! Anyone who wants
to argue about any of the following is heartily encouraged to do so...

Concerning recordings: A recent addition to my collection that was definitely
     worth its price is David Del Tredici's "Final Alice" (Chicago Symph./
     Barbara Hendricks/Georg Solti; London LDR 71018). Maintain an open mind
     as you listen to this piece for the first time.

Terminology: An oft-discussed question, I'm sure, but-- What word do you use
     in place of 'classical' when you're talking about baroque, romantic,
     neoclassical, etc., as well? ('Serious' tends to get jazz admirers mad at
     you.)

Real Art: Can anybody name a piece that is recognized as a 'masterpiece', and
     is consequently performed often, that was written after, say, 1955?

More Real Art (Intentionally inflammatory): I think Schoenberg's "Verklarte
     Nacht" stinks. Anybody want to make something of it? Go ahead, make my day.
