A lovely, gentle soul

What was it like to study composition with George Crumb?

He’s a lovely, gentle soul, much like you would expect from listening to his music.

— Christopher Rouse, in an interview with Robert Raines: Composition in the Digital World: Conversations with 21st Century American Composers

Crumb’s Music for a Summer Evening (Makrokosmos III) from 1974 is one of my favorite works.
