My own bar mitzvah was a miserable occasion. The cause for such abrasion in my family. It still gives me hives.
Falsettos Songs
Here you can find mp3 samples of some songs from In Trousers, March of the Falsettos, and Falsettoland. The mp3 samples are approximately 15 seconds long. If you are not familiar with the music of the Marvin trilogy, this should help you become acquainted with William Finn's work. If you like what you hear, I fully encourage you to buy the CDs!
