The point is that Pirie seemed to be obsessed with "keeping up with the times", an outlook which ironically always seems to create its own downfall. <br /><br />http://www.classical.net/music/books/reviews/0312254350a.php<br />George Mcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807018700599489326.post-59376152921397412592018-08-06T20:51:11.341+01:002018-08-06T20:51:11.341+01:00Cracked it!
