I'd go along with this and it seems to me that it would be more of whether or not you'd treat composers as possible "close friends", "friends" or "acquaintances" when being exposed to their musical works. It's all a matter of relationships. I think we all must have some pre-disposed and innate sense of relating to specific kinds of music and the people who make it. I always wonder why I like specific composers and it usually boils down to the fact that I'd probably be very great friends with them if given the opportunity. I can see that we'd "get along". And for the composers that give us problems, well, you just have to put in the time to get to know them. For some I've given up..never the twain shall meet..... we're too too different. Rich
