It's great! Plonk, thanks for sharing this.
When I saw Schoenberg listed, I thought back to a summer music program I did in high school. We had a music lit. class that covered only 20th century music. One portion of the course was about Schoenberg and 12-tone music, and most of us were unfamiliar with it. I don't think there was anyone in the class who enjoyed it. Our instructor, a young grad. student, told us that one had to learn from a very young age to appreciate 12-tone composition. He said he was going to have his own very young children (I'm not sure if he had kids yet or not) listen to 12-tone music every day so that they would grow up to appreciate it.
It's now about 40 years later, and I wonder if his kids really did grow up listening to that stuff, and if they did, I wonder if they grew up to enjoy it. I guess I must be a bad parent, but when my own kids were little, I exposed them to songs from Fred Penner, Raffi, and Sharon, Lois, and Bram and classics like "Carnival of the Animals."
