I think here you strayed a bit too far away from what Mr.  Schwartz
intended with his list, which I think was meant to be a sort of "Top 50"
list but nothing more...  certainly not a comprehensive survey of all truly
hisorically important CM.  Think "radio play" and you'd still leave off
Schoenberg and Webern and all the pre-baroque as Mr.  Schwartz did in his
original list.
