Well if you spoke to Glenn he'd disagree with your view since he believed
the g-minor symphony was "eight remarkable bars surrounded by a half hour
of banality".  And we wouldn't have had the 40th if Mozart had followed
Glenn's time period for living on this earth.  I think if Mr.  Gould went
on a trip with Wolfgang to the Arctic I'm afraid the Wolfster would be
introduced to some wild life....maybe polar bears....;)
