Dangerous Analogies

24.208.213.190

Crimes & Misdemeanors is my favorite Woody as well. ;-)

I don't feel that because Mahler is a "heavyweight", that makes Mozart a "lightweight." I perceive no lack in Mozart compared to the very different Herr Mahler. Mozart, though he can certainly sound elegant and pretty to modern ears, is a composer of substance and depth. The forms are smaller, true. But is there less truth or genius in Mozart's music because of that?

Frankly, although I acknowledge his importance, I don't have a great affinity for Mahler - I've heard most of his stuff, and wouldn't care to hear much of it again (Das Lied von der Erde and Des Knaben Wunderhorn excepted). I'd rather watch Rear Window than listen to any of the symphonies.
