John Smyth laments

>Recently I submitted a posting regarding Schoenberg's "Moses and Aron,"

I read and reread Mr Smyth's posting and found that it mostly contained
some mythical experience involving Steve, Don, and Derek.  Although it
went on and on, little of it contained any serious discussion of the Opera.
I note that Steve Schwartz, perhaps out of sympathy, relented, and gave
his opinion of the work.  Mr Smyth's posting didn't seem to call for any
serious response.  As a matter of fact it was a bit "cliquish" if you will
pardon the expression.

As for Schoenberg's Moses and Aaron - it's a "sleeper" for sure (IMO) and
I'll pass judgement.

Also, in my opinion, the discussion's on Beethoven's skin color and Public
radio was very enlightening and spoke to most of us.
