I was startled to hear, in the early hours of this morning, some really gorgeous music, which seemed oh, just a tiny bit derivative, in a kind of general way. As harmonically beautiful as Wagner, with some of the sensibilities of other romantic composers thrown in: Schumann, Mendelssohn; it was an overture by Siegfried Wagner. He was Liszt's grandson, and I suppose if I knew more Liszt, I'd have heard Liszt in the mix, too! But you know, it was very nice. It sounded more like Meistersinger than, say, the Ring; I'd say, if you have to take after Daddy, son, pick one of the best models, and Meistersinger is my nominee! Arch
