I don't think I mentioned this, though it amused. I still haven't heard it, and it wasn't entirely for amusement. (I intend to be on campus next week soon- I renewed some books so it doesn't have to be tomorrow. So i might borrow it then.)
Clue: piece of music with mostly Spanish title,
Italian composer,
written in the late 1980s,
dedicated to a Russian filmmaker (who had died in the 1980s.)
Answer - Piece title- (since I doubt there are very too many so) -
"No hay caminos, hay que caminar ... Andrej Tarkovskij" by Luigi Nono (written 1987, a year after Tarkovsky's death).
No hay caminos, hay que caminar - possible translation : there is no way (route, road), traveler. You make the way, by walking it.
I love the expression, and chose it for my nickname awhile back. (How bldy anticlimactic, not to mention parochial and all the rest of it, a way to end this... but I'm sleepy...)
