An open letter from Alice Russell. June 21, 2011, Brookline, Massachusetts. 1. DO NOT make insulting, mean spirited remarks about anyone or their work; there are a plethora of sites where you can rant unfettered. If you attack someone personally, your comments will be removed. You can post it, but I'm not paying for it. Go elsewhere, and let those artists who are actually interested in discussion and learning have the floor. 2. There will be NO posting of or links to copyrighted material without permission of the copyright owner. That's the law. And if you respect the work of people who make meaningful contributions, you should have no problem following this policy. 3. I appreciate many of the postings from so many of you. Please don't feel you have to spend your time "defending" the LCC to those who come here with the express purpose of disproving it. George worked for decades to disprove it himself; if you know his music, there's no question that it has gravity. And a final word: George was famous for his refusal to lower his standards in all areas of his life, no matter the cost. He twice refused concerts of his music at Lincoln Center Jazz because of their early position on what was authentically jazz. So save any speculation about the level of him as an artist and a man. The quotes on our websites were not written by George; they were written by critics/writers/scholars/fans over many years. Sincerely, Alice

Re: Forum now back online
I don't know where to post this but I have a question that is bugging me. On page 12 of the fourth edition, Example II:1, the circle of fifths is followed up to +IV. After that I can't make sense out of the notes, either with the circle of fifths or the harmonic series. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks.

Hi Ben,
I think you'll get an answer to your question if you post it in Lydiation (LCC General Discussion). - and make your own category describing what you want help with. That should get you an answer or two. The place you posted is just an old announcement. And nobody looks there anymore.
All the best,
Bob
