I thank Don for defending Scelsi, one of my favourite composers and one of
the few really inventive composers of the last/this century.  IMHO Scelsis
monotonality (huge masses of sounds based on a single note floating around)
is truely amazing.  I am sure that his works, especially his *Quattro pezzi
per orchestra*, the first huge orchestral work in this style, will become
an essential part in 20th century music history!
