James Holmes et al. in Nantucket - 18 May, 1985
from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 565:
Composers hear only what goes wrong, not what goes right, always aware of the slightest cough, fearful that everyone's embarrassed and bored. JH asked me to put on the saxophone suite, Picnic on the Marne, as an antidote.
