> But it's true that I HATE the self-promoting stance, which arises very
naturally in much American culture, as I explained. ("How to SELL slow
movements" from Howard Klug, for example.)

Now I didn't see the context in which Howard Klug made this remark, and
maybe he was urging self-promotion, which I would deplore as much as you do.
But I think one should be careful not to confuse a (very real) difference of
linguistic practice with a difference of substance. A (good) salesman is not
selling or promoting himself, but the product. This is not so very different
from 'being transparent to the music', which is something I can imagine you
saying!
