		It was a major loss to the music world when Slonimsky died in 1995; I was online, designing pages, when he died (as I was when Menuhin and Stern died, as well), and waves of sadness shuddered through all the musical listservs, as the news was announced.

		Everyone knows that Slonimsky edited Baker's Biographic Dictionary, but there are other books, which I will quote, as a short quote is usually permissible if the link goes back to Amazon, as these do.

	Edgard Varese
		While the piece is expressed in what appears to be a sonata-type form, an insight into Varese's musical thought can be obtained by understanding his conception of the growth and interaction of sound masses in space through developmental techniques such as expansion, projection, penetration, interaction and transmutation.
		Slonimsky's analysis, in his Music Since 1900, suggests a realization of extra-musical ideas: the ionization of molecules and process of atomic charge.
		Given Slonimsky's well-documented close relationship with Varese during the 1930's, his account of the piece might actually be from Varese, and in any case, when considering the transcripts from Varese's lectures, Slonimsky's account seems to be derived from Varese's ideas.

	Music as Music: Audiences and Artists, pfMENTUM, February 1998
		Nicolas Slonimsky begins his introductory essay to the Lexicon of Musical Invective with this delightful quote from Samuel Butler: "The only things we really hate are unfamiliar things." In his book, Slonimsky collects the worst critical reviews of composers and performances.
		Slonimsky succinctly states that the failing of these critics "is that they confuse their ingrained listening habits with the unalterable ideal of beauty and perfection." He calls this psychological condition: non-acceptance of the unfamiliar.
		Slonimsky's collection of negative reviews provides excellent and entertaining examples of the shortsightedness of applying the criteria of "ingrained listening habits" to new music.
