March 15, 2021 at 02:32 PM · Laurie, Thank you so much for pointing out Corigliano's appearance in the video. The photograph he showed of his father as a very young violinist, which served as inspiration for "Snapshot: Circa 1909," was touching and made the beautiful piece all the more moving. (I had no idea Corigliano's father was concertmaster of the NY Phil for 26 years.)
