...Leonard Bernstein has once more been quoted as saying "the symphonic form is dead" [Aug. 30]. As one of the composers whose symphonies he has championed, I have never heard him utter these words; I have only read them and they have always irritated me. He has never clarified this spurious statement, has himself composed in this form. His repeated performances of my symphonies, the symphonies of Copland, Schuman, Sibelius, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and many others are sufficient evidence that he is quite wrong.

...suits, with a Mercedes in his garage, is a member of one of the continent's 6,000 tribes. However cosmopolitan he may be, he still derives his primary identity from his tribe, together with a loyalty toward his fellow tribesmen that is as fierce as is his utter disregard for any outsider. Makonde tribesmen still slit their cheeks to identify themselves to the world, but it is unnecessary surgery. So inseparable are the images of a man and his tribe in Africa that it is as if he carried an invisible mark on his skin...
