Thanks to Dean Hannah Arterian for her continued support of my work, no matter what strange turns it might take; Elton Fukumoto, who made some helpful suggestions and who listened patiently as I began groping my way through this; and to the organizers of the 2011 Southeastern Legal Writing Conference, who invited me to present an earlier version of this paper. An especial thanks to Melissa Weresh and Jason Cohen, two very busy and skilful people, who took the time to edit this article and make it better than it was before. Any remaining faults or errors are my fault, not theirs. Thanks also to Robert Page for the chance to conduct Le Nozze di Figaro at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1979, and to the cast and orchestra of that production for suffering through my learning how to conduct opera. As always, this is for Julia McKinstry: to my admittedly biased eyes and ears, the finest Susanna to ever sing the role.
