Perhaps the best example of the brilliance of the orchestration was in the third movement nocturne, in which Corigliano attempted to recreate the sound he heard during a stay in Morocco, when the calls of muezzins from different mosques collided and "created a glorious counterpoint." In the symphony, beautiful dovetailing lines shimmer and seem to echo off each other, something unattainable in the quartet version. A wild fugue using different tempos for each statement of the subject (but notated in the same meter for all instruments) leads into the postlude, where repetitions of the minor third interval perhaps intentionally recall...
...called back several times. On the second half of the concert, Krystian Zimerman gave an excellent performance of the warhorse of all warhorses, Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no. 2.

When a team oversteps the limit, take the amount it is over by and tax it at around 50% and distribute that money to the bottom third of the league to give them more capital to compete. I see this as a win-win situation overall because it curbs the utterly ridiculous salaries like those of Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez (Yeah Sox fans, stop bitching about the Yankees when you just gave Manny $20 million per annum--wait till...
