A recently re-discovered masterpiece



I haven't heard the "Sinfonietta" by Albert Roussel since I first heard it at the age of seventeen! I loved it then and I still am awed by it even now. The disc that I first discovered at such a young age also had a performance of Webern's "Five pieces for Strings, opus 5". For such a young person as myself to accommodate and integrate such "difficult" music is proof that introducing "difficult" music to younger folks makes them more appreciative to new ideas and concepts in 20th
Century music.

I don't believe they would say: "that hurts my ears".
