Beloved teacher and iconoclastic atonal composer Milton Babbitt passed away this weekend in Princeton, NJ at the age of 94. Unbeknownst to many, he was also a political conservative, something rarely if ever talked about in the classical music world where, even today, you need Marxist credentials to get your ticket punched.
