Kerry,"OT," Thompson writes:
<< An understanding of the turmoil in Europe for the first 6 decades of the
20th century is germane to the understanding of the Horn's development,
though. It had a marked influence on the instrument itself (the rise of the
8D, for example), horn playing style (the rise of the Horner/Chambers
school, and its influence on world horn playing), and music itself (the
virtual ban on Wagner in Israel, Hindemith's move to America, Webern's
death, the rise of American composers like Copeland and Carter, the
influence of Boulanger and Stravinsky). >>
Now, I'm the mostestest of happies that you made the ups of this bringing
because it is not only germane, but also German, as well as apropos, fitting,
pertinent, relevant, appropriate, apt, applicable, suited, and related to just
about anything you, or I, or anyone else for that matter, might want to
discuss but now, I am having the greatestest of wonderings about how history
is
made and what results its makings are making, and who was making the histories
that had the results that helped them make their histories, and who got the
mostestest of influences from those who did the making of the histories, and
how that influence on all of us in the international brother/sisterhood of
horn players has been having those makings as the thinkings I am now having
about the subject at hand, important and on topic as it is, is only having the
leadings of me to the same question:
