I don't think that it's like the ending to Mussugovsky's [sic] Night on
Bear Mountain.  The piece is whole and Holst finished it as he intended.
I haven't heard "Pluto." It's not that I'm opposed to its addition, it's
just that I think that's exactly what it is, a superflorous afterthought.
It's not quite the same as adding a fifth movement to Beethoven's Ninth,
but then again in some ways it is.
