Outstanding post! Thank you. :I:
My intro to George and his music was the "Othello Ballet Suite", some several decades ago. I'm all too happy to discover that there was a wealth of work still yet to enjoy. And I wouldn't know how to explain what the Lydian Chromatic Concept was if you put a gun to my head. All I know is what my ears like, and they like this just fiine!
