Yes, Barrett, there IS something seriously wrong with you: it must be
that you haven't listened to Ravel's trio in A minor. Try it.
There are a few *moderately* highly respected composers whom I feel
over-rated: Alexander Glazunov, Benjamin Britten, Malcolm Arnold, and
Phillip Glass, to name three and a half.
