Windows Media Player and stylistic analysis
This from a loyal reader, via email:
After making my comment on Ave Regina, I noticed
Windows Media Player has identified the first three
movements of your Divertimento as being from a album
containing Bartok's Divertimento #1. So now you can
say your music has been mistaken for Bartok's.When I went to get more info about the "album" it
didn't give any, but from what did get shown, it's a
Deutsche Grammophon (I could see from the cover art),
and contains some Stravinsky as well--Dumbarton Oaks
Concerto and Pulcinella Suite). So you are in very
fine company indeed.
That makes me a bit uneasy, given that it was the first tip-off on the Joyce Hatto affair. Suffice it to say that, while some of my other works could be confused with Bartok (at least in an alternative universe where he had done ethnomusicological field work in the US), this isn't one of them.
