I could go on. Examples abound, and they refer to observable aspects of purely musical/structural elements, not superficial questions of whether or not one generation accepts the rebellion of the next. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
