As many of you know, I am in seclusion, writing like a fiend and taking in gorgeous views of Lake Michigan. It is not too cold here, and I am alone with my Macbook Air, some scores and a radio that gets NPR, albeit fuzzy. The book is taking shape; I have finished "how-to" articles on
Mozart 29
Ravel Valses Nobles
Beethoven Prometheus Overture
Sibelius Violin Concerto
Stravinsky Petrouchka (ALL of it, not just the usual 1st tableau)
Milhaud Le Boeuf sur le Toit
Puccini Act 1 duet from Madama Butterfly
An aria from Un ballo in maschera is in the pipeline.
As well as various articles. I think this reflects a good cross-section of music. If you have any other works that are not too mainstream that you would like me to weigh in on, let me know. No Beethoven symphonies, or Brahms, please.

Did you finish? I see that you are sporadic in posting on your blog, but very much there when you do. Why therefore a blog? I sense a purpose rather than a need to speak to the walls or gaze at navel fuzz. Your students speak very highly of you. Do they know you have a blog?
