ricordi

Does anyone know how to purchase scores that Ricordi list on their website with a catalogue number but don’t show up on any sheet music websites? Both schools I’ve attended own the score, but I can’t find anywhere to buy it.

Catalogue number 134232

monday

fun little “shout out” (or something like that) from Sequenza21 about this coming monday’s Monday Evening Concert which I’m playing on.

new year

happy new year to all!

The first post I wrote on this blog 2 years ago was after a trip to see a Monday Evening Concert. I’ll be playing with them this coming January 11th!

a little quote

The question is: Can music really speak?
Music is merely notes, all self-referring;
The articulative faculty is weak;
Music means rather less than a cat’s purring.
The fact that E flat clarinets can squeak
Will hardly make them murine. So, in stirring
The listener’s blood with crash and upper partial,
Is not a march a march, abstractly martial?

         from Byrne by Anthony Burgess

N.B. E flat [sic]
