(one might call all this trading of opinions as a bit moot since everybody's taste runs different. I disagree -- I'll probably find a dozen pieces in a compiled listing of everybody's favourites that I really like and would never have thought to try. So let's keep it up!) Oh yeah, Berlioz also made numerous delightful overtures. -- -Mike genrad!mit-eddie!zzz (UUCP) ZZZ%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC (ARPA)
