No; not at all. I just thought that such laudatory remarks smelled a little
of pandering when he was so obviously influenced by Stravinsky.
Statistically it is probably difficult to write anything so clearly original
that there is no possible connection to the past.
I am a great admirer of Copland's music, and Mozart's, and Stravinsky's
etc.I love 'em all. Do you like the Dohnanyi variations on nursery tune?
Yeah, Mozart liked the tune too, but I haven't yet found it in Copland's
work; probably doesn't lend itself well to open fourths.
