...music, "the work of leading serious composers is listened to only by other leading serious composers," Wolfe said. "You might as well get an upland Baptist to tell a funny story about the birth of Jesus" as to get today's architects to stray from the ideas of Walter Gropius, the German-born American architect who founded the Bauhaus school and headed the Harvard Graduate School of Design...
