Tony flagellated me:

<<<I think the habit of trying to understand why things are played as they
are in these sorts of circumstances is the best way to decide whether we
can justifiably change them. . . . You yourself produce a more detailed
argument when you mention that the later passage is written swung.>>>

Well, yes. Forgive me for romping into hyperbole. It certainly does
help--a great deal--to understand structure etc.

My point on the Copland is that we have an artifact that can be quite useful
in this analysis. Not "definitive" -- but a pretty good clue.
