The other day I received an email from the Juventas Ensemble:
Yes, they have already rejected me. Of course, I don't remember what piece I sent them, and I have a feeling I accompanied my score with a (shudder!) MIDI mockup.
I do have a piece that was "influenced by non-classical genres," and I have a good recording. Should I? (Also, this will cost me $15.)
What's the saying? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me?" At least I can quote it.
