That the arc/ark of your love of modern music should finally include Ruth Crawford Seeger means more than you can know to me. May you finally extend the arc of your coverage to Ruggles, Rudhyar ad all the proponents of "dissonant counterpoint." Thanks for all you have done to wage this stalwart defense of modernism in music.
