I love the story of Corigliano seeing through his BS. It reminded me of the story of Ralph Vaughan Williams presenting his first piece to Hubert Parry at the Royal College of Music. Parry took one look at the score and said: "All rot, my boy."
I used to exchange hellos with Roger Sessions in the corridors and elevators at Juilliard. As a composition and theory teacher he could be disarmingly informal, according to friends who took him. He once said to a composing colleague of mine as he examined a passage from his class assignment, "You intended to write thunder here but you wrote only a fart." I have no doubt that Sessions, had he looked at a Nico Muhly score, would have said, in a humorous manner, something quietly devastating.
"Lesser Orf " I love hearing about rouse . Corigliano as a teacher ! what experiences. Boulez would have been hell .Unsuk chin and some others will tel about this !
love the flashing words that are the same as the ones that Nico is saying!!

Too bad he didn't learn anything from all that training.
his hair is annoying me
What I've heard thus far of Muhly's music strikes me as rather dull.
more fail.
