November 02, 2002: The previous review is quite the hoot... or should I make that "the last couple of reviews?" This is seminal literature in the analysis of atonal literature, and is required reading for anyone even remotely interested in the field (if not this, then perhaps the other "must-read" books by John Rahn or Joseph Straus... which are both largely based on Forte's work). I suppose that, if anyone was going to take serious issue with the founding father of set theory, it would be some dimwitted, arrogant dolt whose criticisms consist of splitting hairs on proprietary but commonly accepted terminology, and, furthermore, somehow made it out of high school (...or maybe even community college?) with the idea that one adds apostophes to numbers and abbreviations in order to make them plural. Hope your book is selling in record numbers, Mr. Burns!
