In advance of two concerts, the New York Times has an article on Frederic Rzewski. It’s an interesting piece. Rzewski, known for composing a number of pieces with strong left political references, completely downplays political ideology. While his political beliefs come through clearly in the body of his work, he understands that classical music isn’t really a strong platform for political and social change.
