Hats off to Tim as well. I just read his “Elfman’s Rabbit Hops” and he nails the trouble with this composition, which is its structure. So much ballet music can’t stand on its own, as he points out. And Tim had some nice turns of phrase about the score for “Etudes.” “The overture is…a breezy lacing of scales.” Perfect description.

That’s all for now from the Mutual Admiration Gesellschaft.
