Alfred Schnittke — Schnittke’s Gravestone

<p>While we have concerned ourselves specifically with the exploration of fakeness in <span class="il">music</span>, we readily admit that we are not experts on the matter. In imagining our inability to reissue the gravestone of Alfred Schnittke, a composer whose work we do not know intimately, it occurred to us to invite our Schnittke-adoring friend the composer and conductor William C. White to frame this work for our catalog. He is our first guest contributor; we thank him for his enthusiasm and attentiveness.</p>
