You scratch my back, etc.Mozart knew he had a hit opera when he heard delivery boys whistling arias from it (according to legend).
Roy Harris was stopped on the street by a baseball coach or trainer who told him that if he had a pitching staff who could pitch the way Harris did in his Symphony 3, he'd guarantee the owners a pennant at least... .
What the 12-Tone Mafia's mutual backscratching (plus the non-person-izing of the unwashed) accomplished was that it drove or scared composers who actually wanted to reach people, into doing nothing but writing for movies.
Korngold wrote the score for "Robin Hood," but he also wrote this (get your hankies out):
Perhaps there should have been an ad featuring John Williams, with the headline, "They paid each other to laugh when I sat down to write a symphony, so I did not."
Thanks for the post.
