  1. @missmussel Usage rules!
  2. Many classical musicians are mute, unless an author(-ity) scripts something we can be willing to mean... http://bit.ly/7g4epc
  3. Is Populism the New Elitism? Scratch The Grand Finale at LPR right now.
  4. Poetic reactions on French radio -- to Curran's pieces and my recording "Inner Cities" http://bit.ly/90oJHD
  5. Just before 8, my heart beats faster... http://bit.ly/4yA4GQ
  6. Used Shazam on my recording of an etude by Glass -- 3 results! 1. Beethoven's "Tempest" 2. German jazz 3. Andy LaVerve.
  7. @nicomuhly Let the Britten House inspire ye. Perhaps "Chez Nico"? Past & future abodes preserved for short stays. A delight for Muhlyphiles
  8. @NLebrecht I'll be a bit difficult: Nobody in 1600 would have asked what music would last. Once again this question won't matter. When?
  9. @mg1228 Are these media projects attempts by aging virtuosos and an aging music establishment to hang onto those cherished "masterpieces"?
  10. @NLebrecht Do we suppose that longevity is the best measure of artistic value? Might timely music just disappear after use?
  11. @AJDoug Will big orchestras survive? Short answer: "No." The final reason is artistic: authorial music ends and so will its accessories
  12. Confirmed by William Kentridge's show tonight: no more edges between performance, "creation," reading...
  13. @gsandow Previous Juilliard teachers of music criticism: Tim Page, Irving Kolodin. Special guest in Tim's class? Virgil Thomson!
  14. Study other people's recordings? Or ignore them? My blog: http://bit.ly/4sg2VC
  15. @mattmarks Listening to the same material on different speakers shows that speakers are "filters"--like performers, notation, composing...
  16. My photo in the Business section of the Boston Globe? http://bit.ly/16bjkQ
  17. Does thinking about music compromise feeling? My introduction of Alfred Brendel last night in Boston: http://bit.ly/1UH7gy
  18. @AJDoug Dear Mr. Vivaldi, I'd like to inquire about licensing your concerto... Sincerely, J. S. Bach
  19. @nicomuhly No "cocky hip thrusts" for Beethoven apparently...
  20. Classical music film cliche -- juxtapose 18th- or 19th-century musical products with images of today's fast travel. Meaningful friction?
