You know there was a piece in the Journal today referring to Eakin's
"Gross Clinic" where the writer saw the picture in a new light after
previous multiple viewings. originally, he thought he had the picture
pegged. He noted that we can never fully "know" a great work of art.
Perhaps you should keep listening to the repetitive Glass? There also
was a quote from the English critic Neville Cardus, who was commenting
on a performance of Beethoven's Fifth, a musical warhorse,..."there are
no hackneyed masterpieces only hackneyed critics".
