yeah, but who is Schornberg? We had a Backofen, maybe a Schornstein, a Kahle
Berg, but I never heard of Schornberg.

Best wishes,

I am certainly finding this to be true, the structure and tonality of
Beethoven, Haydn, Rossini are much clearer for me since a marvelous course
in 20th century literature, and even more with current 20th century
analysis. But nobody told me this would be true-- (grin) until now. And a
Florida Orchestra concert that included both Haydn and Beethoven symphonies
made clear just how radical Beethoven was.

Being in grad school is amazing, often a teacher will make a comment that
turns my brain into a pinball machine--lights and bells in all directions,
rebounding. And when the clamor stops, a whole new set of information is in
place, in order, connections clear. And the jumbles between the oasises are
getting smaller.

So I read the word searing as enlightening (enlgihtening (another grin)).
New connections set off sparks! The tingle is proportional to the size of
the idea.
