Two types of art

[Henry Musikar]

Shurely (sic) you jest, perhaps infinitely. Have you read any DFW? 
DFW's writing is no more ponderous or determinate than TRP's. 

I think you are in fact mistaking TRP if you take the Rossini vs. 
Beethoven et al as decidedly in favor of Rossini. That would make TRP 
more Beethoven than you give him credit for.
