Subj: Is Vienna Right?
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 08:17:25 -0500

Risking the wrath of those who would prefer yet another round of "Which
Mouthpiece Is Best," I wonder if anyone would care to defend the VPO's position?

Is there a case to made for cultual consistency in music making? Are the VPO
musicians bigots or conservators of a unique musical culture? Can a musical
argument, as opposed to an employment rights case, be made for 'white men
playing white music for white audiences.'
