On Previn’s Editing of Erickson’s ‘Corona’
On Feb. 3 Bernheimer lambastes Barry Cooper’s reconstruction of Beethoven’s 10th Symphony sketches. Feb. 4 he criticizes Previn for judiciously cutting “Corona.”
As Bernheimer would have it, we should not hear “new” melodies of a musical giant, but we should pay to listen to Erickson’s “unison F-natural for 25 minutes.” Mr. Previn simply showed good judgment in striking a balance between his obligations to Mr. Erickson and to the paying audience.
