There are >probably *NOT* 100 people in the "greater metropolitan" area of Tallahassee >who have even heard of Schnabel. Some reactions to this: 1. Is this not a university town we are speaking of? I would bet that more than 100 people have heards of Schnabel. 2. I am way more dismayed at the spotty stocks you find at Tower, Borders, and some internet cd outlets. Try searching Amazon.com for something just a bit of the beaten path!! 3. Schnabel's Second Symphony is an excellent work, IM not so HO. Not a lovable work, not a comfortable work, but if you like(for example) Krenek or Sessions, you may like this one. Bernard Chasan
