Against all the hatred in the current political world there is luckily the energy and enthusiasm and happiness of young people making music to the best of their ability
seems like important news but i guess the nytimes thinks tariffs are more essential
“A major ocean current in the Southern Hemisphere has reversed direction for the first time in recorded history, in what climatologists are calling a ‘catastrophic’ tipping point in the global climate system.” #ClimateCrisis intellinews.com/southern-ocean…
i’m no legal expert, but a supreme court opinion saying that the law prevents the judiciary from enforcing the law seems a bit Kafkaesque
with all due respect to the thoughtful ben laude and the great garrick ohlsson, i really don’t think the “heroic” polonaise should be the anthem of the human race
Californians complaining about the cold is one of the most hilarious things
a lofty excerpt from what appears to be the first AI review i have received (for a work that was not actually performed)
a friend reminded me of this thing i wrote about schubert
falling ever more in love with schnabel’s fingerings (this is not a naughty tweet)
for all its difficulties, fauré's music has tremendous rewards
Spectacular concert @jeremydenk Wednesday night. Looking forward to Saturday.
as a musician and artist who frequently travels, i often face the deep moral conundrum: should i shower before my long flight? or why bother?
Admittedly sometimes in late faure you wish the chromatic scale had never been invented

there are many thinkpieces out today about the 50th anniversary of “jaws” but none of them mentions the clear influence of beethoven op. 111
a great loss. among the many other great gifts he gave, i got the wittiest email of my life from alfred brendel ...
Like everyone else in the music world, I am so sad to hear about the departure of Alfred Brendel. He was a beacon of civilisation, a deeply cultured man who loved music passionately, shared that love widely and never compromised artistically or personally. He will be much missed.
I mean I’ve never really liked Magnolia Bakery but still I was unprepared for the sheer resentment I felt when I saw they are selling a single cupcake at LGA for $9
i was having a long discussion with claude AI about the goldberg variations and then i pointed out that it can’t actually read a musical score (it doesn’t exactly feel good to make AI pretend to feel bad about itself)
i asked claude to try the same diagram of rhythmic events in arietta of 111 and it seems more appropriately overwhelmed by the task
i asked chatGPT to map out the rhythmic plan of the arietta of opus 111 and maybe its music theory skills could use a little improvement chatgpt.com/s/m_6846f06350…
