And I agree with him. All this stuff about pinkies getting calloused from hitting n - gee, that's a real problem! Efficiency in reading net.music? I though reading net.music was recreation - why do you insist on taking it so seriously? I'm about ready for one split-off group, though - net.should.we.have.a. split.net.music. As Schoenberg said, "Was hat das mit der musik zu tun?" (probably not literal - my German is lousy) About Ives - I wasn't aware he developed serialism - can you give an example? Also (nitpicking warning), polyphony was "invented" by a bunch of monks back in the 11th century (in the West, anyway). I think perhaps you mean polytonality? A concert of Ives would give me the hives! (just kidding) Jeff Winslow
