The American composer wants the critic to answer three questions, according to Aaron Copland, who spoke for the composers represented on the programs of the Yaddo Festival, at the "conference for critics and composers." How does composer's work differ from all other works? What is it worth, as music? By answering these questions the critic will, Copland thinks, best help the composer to an understanding of himself, and the public to an understanding of the composer. Roy Harris's Sonata and Aaron Copland's Variations seemed the outstanding music of the three programs. |
