Of course, given that the legitimating source in
question is a product of my imagination, the verb "to trace"
is a misnomer for "constructing" a link between electoral
rules and their source a posteriori. Volume One of the Levin CD contains, after the Sonata, Three
Tone-Pictures (1910-15), graceful landscape evocations with the kind of
titles Griffes would affix a posteriori, to make the music more salable. Gestures a posteriori designated as
comedy--John Baldessari singing Sol LeWitt phrases, for example, or
Richard Prince putting a bar joke in quotes--are not gutturally so,

immediately, heart-stabbingly funny, her monologues as hilarious as
early Saturday Night Live. |
