  13. @bobopera ...soundtrack "problem" challenges our common perception that great music needs to be its own focal point. It's a good challenge.. about 21 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to bobopera
  14. @bobopera ...yes, ballet/opera scores are also "best understood w/onstage contexts," but can stand alone more easily than soundtrack cues... about 21 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to bobopera
