true, but A4S is the biggest selling piece of classical music in the US
marketplace. it was displaced momentarily by Gorecki's 3rd symphony, but
i belive that william orbit helped it regain ascendancy. so they might
not know more of barber's works, but more people own his work than
almost any other composer! strange but true (until shot down in flames)
