The Turkish magazine Andante, which is publishing some of my pieces under the rubric "Gerisi Gürültü," or The Rest Is Noise, looks to be an excellent all-around classical-music journal, commenting on opera, orchestras, new music, local festivals, and some jazz and rock as well (Mingus, the Tiger Lillies). I've never understood why the vast American classical audience can't sustain a magazine of this type. I assume the advertising business, with its rich-old-queen habit of spending money only on young males, has something to do with it.
