She has a list of two dozen different composers. The teacher wants her to choose one, choose a piece, and write about it. She has no clue whatsoever. And however I help her I'm afraid I'll have helped her hate classical music for the rest of her life. ... In the end I find her a Debussy greatest hits collection and one for Copland. Hopefully she'll at least recogize some of the melodies.
Where's my replacement?
