"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Max Reger: Träume am Kamin 2. Con moto
Max Reger was, as Schoenberg said, a genius. Why his music has fallen into relative obscurity as lesser music has flourished is interesting. The great organist and humanitarian, Albert Schweitzer attributed that to the two wars. Maybe it's time people took another listen.
