David Hattner:

It is also why I wish that more composers played chamber music.

William Wright:

You can be sure that I'm going to listen more closely to loudness at the
'high quality' chamber music that I attend --- which for me will be
David Shifrin playing the Copland concerto. ....It doesn't happen
until next February.

Patricia:

I wish there was more "chamber music" played, period. IMHO, it is the best
classical music to listen to. I know it gives me the most enjoyment. This
is not to denigrate the great symphonic music or the solo music out there.
It is just that chamber music allows for intimate interplay amongst a small
number of instruments. It is much like a drama in some respects. One can
almost "watch" the story unfold on the "stage" of one's auditory perception
and interpretation.
