| That was wonderful, thanks. I do have to wonder if and when we will ever hear all the trunk songs from aborted projects. It seems like he thought of them as almost un-shareable out of context. But I know I’m not alone in hoping to experience them someday — in or out of context. |

| Marvellous article! And yes, Art and History will demand that the final work be heard. Perhaps the ideal would be for Jonathon Tunick to supervise the music. He would know how to complete the intention. Perhaps a great lyricist - one who adheres to Sondheim's rules of rhyme - will be on hand too. It will depend on how finished a finished song was - would Sondheim be happy with it? Then again, a first act of a musical which seems in some sense to be about disconnection could be a satisfying whole already. As an English lecturer back at Uni said many many years ago, "Incompletion IS completion." |
