“In 1986, Traiger ‘turned away from the ‘avant-garde’ and tried to find my own voice in tonality.'”
Traiger wrote really good music. Why would any self-appointed music lover who is (supposedly) right in his mind, deem it necessary to place a thumb-down? maybe the only ‘professional musician’ who should not be on this site? In any case someone who has no ears.
