Composer Bloch, now 67 and clean-shaven, has never written any tunes that are hummed in every U.S. household. But musicians rank him, along with Stravinsky, Hindemith and Schoenberg, as the best of the European expatriates now in the U.S. Bloch knows as much about strident dissonances and spastic rhythms as the next...
