Subject:  favorite ives quote, was: Karen's signature


ives was apparently very concerned with 'manly' music. he found bach,
beethoven and brahms to be manly composers. he said mozart, debussy and
ravel wrote sissy music. he said of chopin, "i could never listen to chopin
without picturing him wearing a dress but, it's alright because, at least, it
was a dress he made himself". what a fruitcake!

ps. that is as close as i can come. the wording might not be exact but,
the sentiment is.
