If Robert, or anyone else, has heard the music of an >unknown composer, has heard, and documented, his opinion of that composer's >character and has later documented his success or failure, and has done >this a sufficient number of times for the results to be statistically >significant, then Robert, or whoever else does it, can claim to hear >character in music. Actually, if Robert's opinion is contradicted by biography, Robert can always claim that the biographers are wrong or unperceptive. We're back to Square 1 with this. >I agree, as usual, with Mimi. Let's just listen to the music. I agree with Mimi as well and as usual. Steve Schwartz
