Alan Belkin
on: July 05, 2007, 10:02:31 PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of today's most intelligent composers. Regardless of his music's aesthetic appeal, it is superbly crafted...something that is quite rare. Even more admirable than this is his knack for pedagogy; he has some of the most innovative teaching methods known to me.

Again, cheers to a fabulous composer, and all-around musician.
