Two Book Critics Consider The Lines Between Praise, Fairness, And Meanness
Thomas Mallon: "Today's literary reviews too often turn into participation trophies, quiet tour-guide appreciations. Few things, of course, are duller than self-indulgent put-downs; but informed and spirited dismissals are another matter, and they remain in too-short supply." Liesl Schillinger: "There's a distinct line between eulogy and fairness, but every critic knows you make more of a splash when you wield a bludgeon than when you bestow a bouquet. Yet Trollope also recognized that brickbats too readily brandished lose their power to stun."

Which Is More Harmful To The Arts: Elitism Or Populism?
Liesl Schillinger: "Those of a populist mind-set attack so-called elitist art forms as boring; those of an elitist mind-set attack so-called populist art forms as facile and unworthy. But in either case, it's usually the mind-set, not the work itself, that raises hackles." Adam Kirsch: "The truth is, however, that few writers ever make a conscious choice between elitism and populism, difficulty and accessibility. Writers write as their minds and fates compel them to."

Crazy Cube Wails and Sings
[…] Minnetonka” by Thurlow Lieurance and again in an arrangement by Zez Confrey, an impresario and composer of piano-curiosities with a fabulous name to boot. This interlude also brought Dalit Warshaw on theremin to the fore. Rachmaninoff was at the Plaza Hotel Grand Ballroom on January 28th, 1928 when Léon Theremin presented his eponymous instrument. Warshaw is clearly a master of its wailing and throbbing; she treated us to “Orientalia: Two Vocalises” by Theremin’s protégé Joseph Schillinger, among other numbers. At the end of the program she joined the other four musicians for a treat, Rachmaninoff’s famous Vocalise. Hearing a theremin live was a very pleasant surprise. Likewise hearing the music of Schillinger, composed for it. Being able to examine it up close after the concert a fascinating window into another world and time. [One may scoff now, but RCA introduced the instrument as one that could be quickly mastered without […]
