Response to Janet Schmalfeldt's Response
Journal Article
Overview
abstract
In the spirit of Janet's "whimsical" hearing of Babbitt's Lonely Flute "as a naughtily overdetermined parody of Tchaikovsky's song, with Tchaikovsky's music itself representing the antipode of Babbitt's aesthetic, though not necessarily his sympathies" (para. 12), we demonstrate two additional connections between Babbitt's Lonely Flute and Tchaikovsky's "Lonely Heart."
