Variants on a theme

i. Grice's performance of "Pavane": sublime.
Coooper's Rachmaninoff, deplorable.

Chapman, p. 11.
cfr. Grice on "Home Sweet Home" and the implicatures of subtle musical critics:

"Her performance of the aria from The Bohemian
Girl corresponded pretty closely to the
original score by Bishop to the lyrics by Payne"

-- for metaphysical extravagances on this, see me elsewhere (N. E. A. knows where -- post title, "Pavane")
