[NewMusic] Glassy anniversary

[George Cremaschi]

I agree completely with Mr Slusser. All of
the main Minimalists have written some fantastic
music, but did we need so much of it?
And of course, then the call went out, not
just for 'more Glass', but for more 'anything
that sounds like Glass'. And not just in the
music world - almost every contemporary
dance piece I've ever attended has had
'something like Glass'.
