Sarge, that was the beautiful ambiguity of the post! It is also a play in the running game, an allusion to Feldman's Why Patterns?

Oh! Well done then, by chasmaniac  ;D ...and shame on me for not getting the reference, for not knowing the Feldman piece.

Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Do I remember you correctly for a fan of Coptic Light, Sarge? Why Patterns?, too, I should include in my short list of Uncle Morty's Greatest Hits.

Of course, a Best of Feldman Anthology would easily run to 16 CDs . . . .

I know! I've never (or, not yet) warmed to his work; but times like this, you want to rub the chap's shoulder....

already mentioned, but: Ives, 3rd symphony

Delius was a fantastic composer for me.
And though it's not a Symphony
