In my initial report on Galina Ustvolskayas symphonies it was not at
all my intention to glorify ugliness. I would never dare to call Mrs.
Ustvolskayas music ugly. I rather think this is very beautiful music
(and I truely enjoy it), fighting its way *against* the ugliness Mrs.
Ustvolskaya was enduring. Thus I rather was glorifying Mrs. Ustvoskayas
music, beautyful for some and ugly for others (and I eagerly accept both
opinions), but IMHO great art!
