I am afraid that I haven't a clue as to what a ternary might be. I do know, however, that Blue Grass is the only real USian music form; while it grew from Gaelic and African roots, it is as USian development to its core. Sonatas are boring. If Mozart couldn't do an interesting one, then I do not believe that anyone elsse could do better. And certainly not Samuel <gag-gag-gag> Barber, a composer whose works have not so far, and which will almost certainly never, blacken my personal collection. You said, "[T]he folk there in Roanoke will respect you more when they hear strains of the Hammerklavier emanating from your stereo". Wow, but I think not. The folks in my neighborhood are astounded that I listen to NPR and that my personal taste in music runs to baroque and Classical music. Given their adherence to the banjo, I doubt that my neighbors would find piano sonatas any more appealing than an oboe concerto. If you have kin in Pulaski, pray, come visit the next time that you are in the area, and we can hoist a Lagavulin together. I would find my life honored by the meeting of you. I promise to play piano concerti, which I find more genial and interesting. Best Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir! NEW FAX NUMBER: +540-343-8505
