Re: Dvorak 9 question

The Rosen quote is from the first of three lectures given in Rome in 1993, titled: 'The Frontiers of Nonsense'.

It is published with the other two, 'How to become Immortal' and 'Explaining the Obvious', in "The Frontiers of Meaning".

Rosen's most famous book is "The Classical Style". However, "Critical Entertainments" speaks clearly to us too, as does "Piano Notes".

I was fortunate enough to have lunch with Rosen on several successive days while we were both teaching at the International Summer School in Sermoneta (in 1995?) Among other things, he told me a great deal about Brahms's compositional relationship to Beethoven, much of which appears in "Critical Entertainments".

On another tack: whilst the point of changing the Brahms III clarinet solo from Bb to A clarinet is something that Brahms would clearly have appreciated, if it were suggested by a player – even though he didn't originally write it that way – the idea that someone other than Dvorak could have organised the PUBLISHED switch in the Ninth symphony (in both score and parts) without the composer's input is surely implausible.
