HERE or HERE may be found PUZZLE 178, our last for to-day. We wonder who will know this one.


Rochberg's Symphony No.6?

Correct Mr. Sudden!

George Rochberg - "pretty gritty" get it? - began as a Serialist but according to the admirable Mr. Lebrecht "became ever more romantic." "He will be remembered," continues Mr. Lebrecht, "as the man who broke the stranglehold of academia on American composers and freed them to write tunes again."


Does not this work sound rather like Simpson?

Hurrah!

It was not the tunefulness that impressed us far from it but the impetus of his snippet. There is certainly something Simpsonian in it but we wonder if that has not a little to do with the simple fact of his writing in a style by which the world has already passed? Is there a way to quantify this quality we wonder.
