Jim! Ha! Yeah. He does write like I think. Although it might sound a little pretentious if you haven’t made yourself familiar with the music, I agree and appreciate what he said. I have experienced this with a scant few other works. Keith Jarret’s Vienna Concert recording is one. And I think similar things have been said by Jarrett and others about this recording. E.g. not just close to or flirting with the flame but actually in it - or something like that. GG is weird but truly genius. iMHO.
BTW, I keep enjoying that clarinet music you turned me on to the other day. Thanks again for that.
