Ungrapes your ...
Right. The examples I was just thinking of were Gauguin (“political”) and DG Rossetti as a painter (“aesthetic”), but the distinction blurs on examination
Say, can we be mutuals? I’d really like to hang out in your circles /s
Are the green lights flickering for real? That would be intolerable
Isn’t there still a meaningful formal relationship with the Crown?
(Not to disagree with the conclusion!)

No need to worry about too many open tabs!
Oh, sorry, I did mean you (but you're not especially typo-prone)
Typos filled a post by an editor in New York

He's mullin' somethin'.
Is it the rally we're updating? Or the eponymous laws?
Not nothing, but not like the second theme of the Waldstein either.
Or style! If you can move between keys as fluidly as Brahms, is the experience of modulation still the same?
I can accept that getting the question about the gun right, while a difficult matter of judgment, is important to a just society.
But the distance between two keys is pretty subjective! If you're starting from E-flat minor, then E-flat major and C-flat major may both feel close.
from the article: Every profound question is ultimately unanswerable. That does not mean that the search for truth isn’t central to making art or building a just society. It does not mean that the truth is but a construct. B major is very far away from E flat major; a gun in a man’s holster on a Minneapolis street is not being brandished.
This at the end seems like he wants to steal some valor, and claim that music is important, and meets the moment:
Is he ... pleased to think that information doesn't matter? What's his profession again?
Wonder what "acme" means in this context -- the Bay Area bakery of that name is not especially adult
I'm happy to disagree on that -- definitely a question of temperament
ah, no, it's the idea of analysis you reject ;-)
Is the issue just the specific tools they've been given as middle-schoolers?
Professors. One an economist and administrator at UCLA; one a philosopher, long at Illinois, editor of Peirce. Both my parents were professors too, also my brother and an uncle.
It may not have led to a similar slam-dunk moment, but I appreciated how he got Landsman running in circles about who in the executive branch is trustworthy.
This irritates me more the more I look at it. It's good that Biss studies pieces through the lens of music theory. But that doesn't mean that that study yields "truth", which a performer must reveal to the audience!
But why Friends rather than the other artifacts? Baffling
It's pretty annoying.
1. Art is about truth
2. Here's an account of tonal logic in classical music
3. Since art is about truth and sincerity, I guess that must be related
4. QED!
Ah, I didn't stop to think that it would have a bunch of printed content as well.

What's there to read, even? This is a planner in the sense of a calendar?
The writeup here makes me cautiously optimistic. I would certainly go to this show if I get to NY!
(I grew up on a diet of Pollock the Hero, and became aware of Krasner only in this century)
