Last Thursday, I went to an all-Copeland concert at Carnegie Hall by the
Pittsburgh Symphony under Andre Previn.  The concert had a mix of some of
Copeland's pre World War II works which I enjoy (e.g. Appalacian Spring, El
Salon Mexico, Rodeo) - although I was disappointed by this performance of them
and some of the later works which I don't like (e.g. his 1962 "Connotations")
Frankly, I find it hard to relate to "modern" classical music - it doesn't
contain sound patterns that I can relate to as musical in the way that
pre-twentieth century classical music, or relatively modern jazz works do.
