On my local NPR affiliate in central PA, Mozart's birthday was celebrated with "Mozart-inspired" pieces by rather obscure composers from around the world. I found this odd, to the say the least. My understanding is that only Bach rivals Mozart in sheer volume of production. Yet this NPR affiliate apparently felt it was insufficient to merely fill the day with Mozart. Well, no, that wouldn't be 'creative programming.' Ironically, on the day of commemoration to one of the greatest, the music on NPR sunk at times to its relative lowest with relative no-names. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes in these times, the perceived need for novelty, or a need to push the envelope, trumps common sense and leads to bad outcomes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
