I would love to buy that mp3 download but Amazon.com downloads are not available for downloading outside the USA :( :(

You've told me that before; I should have remembered ::) That's a real shame :(

Very sad, I'm rather fond of much of his music, which is always well written and attractive. The Crucible is also among my very favourite 20th Century Operas and also love the music for The Scarlet Letter.

Shapero's Credo is certainly a beautiful little piece :)

Don't judge the Partita too harshly.  It was witten as a satire of the criticisms about him. Too "Mozartian"?
Try this he says. Some making fun of serialism also.
Harold says the work is "terrible". I completely disagree but there you are.

I was a bit non-plussed by the Partita....not what I was expecting at all.

But your explanation helps a lot :)
