Not at all, merely light-hearted banter pointing out a flaw in Mr Hattner's
argument.

I've yet to write that any composer is perpetuating a scam, that they didn't
write music, that a piece is not music, that any performer is wasting their
time by studying a piece, nor that the entire clarinet repertoire of someone
else's country is second-rate compared to the repertoire of one's own.

Comparatively, my earlier description of the Bernstein as "derivative", even
"fatuous" (although I withdrew the latter), is a love-tap. Perhaps I should
surround my well-intentioned-albeit-humorous messages with smileys.

:-) With my bestest ever wishes for collegial fellowship :-),

:-)Cheers,:-)
