Okay, I'll play. Why?

Hi OT. Because it's a way of giving them verbal exposure (music history) to go along with Beethoven Radio's aural exposure (the music itself).

I say MOST posts, not all, should be about classical music itself. Your complaint about the health care vultures was important, to us as well as to you.

Sometimes I feel the need to dis the president, but not at the moment. However, as he seems to have Iran in his sights, let me name-drop an Iranian composer: Aminollah Hossein. His Arya and Persepolis Symphonies are pretty nice. They are atmospheric and not too challenging. He also wrote a Scheherazade Suite (about 20 min long). I don't know if these works are found on CD. They should be.

It's kind of a one-size-fits-all rudder.
