I've never heard anything about riots incited by the music of Mozart OR
Stravinsky, but then about the only biographical information I've absorbed
regarding the "older" composers is all about J.S. Bach. :-)

That may be true, but since I am in full agreement with Chip (and Theo for
that matter), I think I understand how he feels. I'd sound pissed off too,
if I wasn't trying to avoid feeding this thread. Hopefully, I'm not adding
