I fully agree with Steve. With both composers, I feel that they're going
down a particular musical highway, just floating along, and all of a sudden
they shift gears, take the exit, and find a different road. It's very
interesting. I start thinking of the connections between the old and new
highway, why they shifted gears, and whether there really is a strong
connection. Sometimes, I conclude that it must be a case of multiple
personalities.
