At the Getty Museum (site of the picture above) I picked up a copy of Karen Painter and Thomas Crow's 2006 anthology Late Thoughts, with a fascinating John Deathridge essay on Wagner's "Unfinished Symphonies," a John Rockwell piece on Weimar Republic opera, and a conversation between Frank Gehry and the late, greatly lamented Ernest Fleischmann.
