Errata
In the previous two issues Raphael Rubinsteins poem "Accordion Chamber Music (four short movements after Max Beckmanns The Argonauts)" was misprinted. The line breaks were inadvertently compressed. The poems visual presentation is an essential part of the piece, so you probably missed a lot if by reading it in its improper format. Please visit our website to read the poem again. Our sincere apologies to Raphael Rubinstein. Con la cola entre las patas, MT.
An interview with Mark Morris (June/July 2003) misstated that, along with Morris, choreographer Twyla Tharp was also working in Fort Greene. The Twyla Tharp Dance Company remains in Manhattan.
In Nick Stillmans article "Harmonic Convergence" (June/July 2003) La Monte Youngs name was misspelled.
Finally, in the June/July 2003 issue, we failed to include the credit for J. Penrys art in Last Words.
