So that's your problem!  But since you don't care for anything
middle of the road, I guess you outgrew him, at least. :-) :-) :-) !!!!


Seriously, for other Vivaldi-endless-Baroque-phobes, here's a saying
attributed to Stravinsky:

  "Vivaldi did not write 600 concerti grossi. He wrote the same one 600 times."


                              .  .  .

For those of you who lament that "classical" music is not being created today,
fear not! The American Soceity of University Composers, for one, is a large
group of people doing exactly that. "But that's that yucky 12-tone music!"
(Said with exactly the same inflections a preppie would use to describe
hardcore punk.) Well, I never promised you'd like it...
