It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: What's the definition of a minor second?

Two violists playing in unison.

I mention this old joke because, at least at the concert I attended in February, the Violas had replaced the Cellos stage left front. Could be the intonation problems right there.

Your other quibbles, articulation and 'wall of sound' on crescendos are definitely the changes in the hall.

For me, John Mack's Oboe and Myron Bloom's Horn shared bellwhether duties with Adelstein's Trumpet. The new oboist is no John Mack, the others are simply workmanlike.

Bright spot in the woodwinds is the Clarinet of Franklin Cohen, a great successor to Robert Marcellus.
