I think that Berg's "Lyric Suite" is really the best thing that the original 3 twelve-toners produced
How funny! That's exactly the piece of Berg I was playing today when it occurred to me I was getting nothing out of it that I'd expect to get from a piece of Schoenberg. Different strokes, I guess.
I go warm and cool about Copland.
Me, I don't get on with the end of Beethoven's 9th -- or with that symphony at all, really (yet I adore all his others with the qualified exception of the 5th). I do love, though, his Missa Solemnis; the exception which proves the rule that, er, I'd forgotten about it when typing my original post. I recently (re)discovered his quartets/quintets and was knocked out.
