...and another thing! On the so-called "real R3" IB MB I read the following posting delivered apparently 4 hours ago:
"Any piece of music introduced as 'in the form of an arch' which guarantees pretentious twaddle. I'd be prepared to listen to something described as 'in the form of a piece of dog pooh' since that, at least, shows originality"
This was what might be described (I suppose) as a "global candidate for Iain Burnside's Room 101".
Well, let me just say this: the so-called "arch form" is NOT "pretentious twaddle", but explains exactly what many composers attempted (often successfully). Look at - inter alia - Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (Movt 1), or (BASICALLY!!!!) any 18th-c binary dance movt.
The only thing that is "pretentious" or "twaddle" is the current BBC R3 MB, and I feel so sorry for all those who still post to it.
...and that's supposed to be "A RANT"!

Dear Baz,
Alas, I am unable to answer your question as the `Hand` chapter was torn from our textbooks by Sister Enid of the Perpetual Mortification of the Shameful Flesh. However, I believe that there exists a school of thought that advises people to follow their instincts in such matters. I can but pass this advice on to you in the hope that you find it helpful.
With all hopeful thoughts for you
Mort
Thanks Mort - did you (incidentally, I wonder) take your log-in name from the "Perpetual Mortification of the Shameful Flesh", or was it by some coincidental accident? No matter! I am very grateful for your "hopeful thoughts", and trust that they will not (for ever anyway) be "in vain". Baz  |

And you can still smoke in Nero Not in Nero Hampstead you can`t, Martle. They stopped it months ago. Much to the irritation of the professional smoking Italian staff. Less customers in the mornings now than there used to be. Mutter, mutter, mutter.  |

Martle, relieved to see that you, ummm... are... er... have ...ah, come out of your shell. I think. Perhaps go easy on the caffeine though.  |

What bloody kind of crocodile tears are those?! I presume (like the rest of us) you voted LABOUR in the first place? What else did you expect? Baz <grr> |

Baz,
Might it be time for another cocktail? Good for the blood pressure.

...AND.....! Best of all - we're going to have a Tax DECREASE of 2p in the £ BUT - we're going to have to pay for it ourselves by having the 10p-in-the-£ tax doubled. Isn't that the best New-Labour con of all. The Prime Minister is dead! Long live the Prime Minister. Baz <1000 turds> |

`Best of all - we're going to have a Tax DECREASE of 2p in the £`
Be still my beating heart. Oh, joy unfettered fills my soul.
Someone pass the bloody wine. And the AK-47. Growl.
