This Just In:

* Mozart identified.

* Robert Craft accuses Stephen Walsh of plagiarism. Stravinsky's mute on the subject.

* "would any musicians now put up with a conductor tuning an orchestra for 45 minutes or making wholesale changes to scores or learning to beat time in music he soon would lead by listening to a pianist playing it?"

* The orchestral beer ad we all loved is causing a ruckus.

* Cleveland Orchestra devotes a healthy amount of its time to new music in 08-09.

* Edinburgh slashes funding to its opera and ballet companies.

* "Classical music is enjoying mini-comeback thanks to the Internet"

* Lorin Maazel: "If there isn't some effort made to attract young males to classical music, we are going to lose, again, half the human race."
