Interesting article Bill.

As a composer I have often found that more delicately scored works are
the type that I prefer to write, but they are more difficult to make
"work".
I have often pondered why this is, I suspect it's unsympathetic
conducting.
One can possibly infer from this the conclusion that since louder works
are
more likely to succeed, perhaps for the reason I mention, it is those
that
we think of more fondly.

I would suggest putting in front of them the other piece written by a
world
class composer, namely The Severn Suite (the original version please),
and
see what their response is to that.
