Rachmaninov Once More

["Bob & Judy Williams" <prospero@netins.net>]

Greg. I agree with your assessment of R. I would not have written 
since I have very little to add to that statement and it hardly 
seemed worth a message.

I do temper my agreement with a little heresy. I received a gift of 
R's symphony 2 and was surprised after jaw cracking yawns through 
much of his other work to find that I enjoyed this one and play it 
moderately often. I had the same experience at about the same time 
with Holst's The Planets. I have become philosophical about these 
backslidings and may even be heard to say that, although there are 
good reasons to like what we like, it may be wise to be moderate in 
our expressions about what we don't like.

"We know what we are but know not what we may be."

Best regards,
