When I go to an art musem, it is rarely to see anything in particular,
but instead to be surprised and enlightened. It's too bad symponies
can't play at least one "pot-luck" selection per program, something not
previously announced. I wonder if as many people would go to hear the
"surprise" as would stay away.
