You may often find that composers and conductors you believe should be held in esteem are given the short shrift of a paragraph or two or completely excluded, while you'll read passages such as the one which has long dead Lili rather than Nadia Boulanger teaching into the latter half of the twentieth century with incredulity. Oh well, perhaps I should be glad that she's even mentioned.
