Attacks on Dan? What attacks? Maybe I'm writing this message to the tune of
Carly Simon's "You're So Vain (I Bet You Think This Song Is About You)," but
are you talking about my messages? I hope what I really said doesn't differ
that radically from what I tried to say. I haven't seen *any* messages from
*anybody* attacking Dan personally.

I think Dan's one of the most valuable contributors to this list and I
respect him completely. Respect doesn't mean we always have to agree with
each other. I, for one, did criticize B. H. Haggin's account of Berghauser's
recollection, but has Dan even given a personal opinion about whether *he*
thinks Schoenberg really had stone ears? I thought all Dan did was report
accurately what a professional critic had published -- IMHO a worthy topic to
throw into the hopper, since Haggin's anecdote concerned a clarinet player
and Schoenberg composed significant works for the clarinet.

At any rate, Dan, if I wrote anything clunky enough for *you* to read it as
an attack on you, I apologize.
