Ned Rorem in USA - 15 June, 1989
from Lies: A Diary 1986-1999, page 163:
Recieved tape of Rostropovich conducting premiere of my Fantasy & Polka last month in Evian. Not my finest moment: If unalerted I wouldn't recognize the Fantasy as mine, so much as a cast-off of Shostakovich, while the Polka is cheap Sousa.
