Teaching Romantic history today. I love how discussion of the 19th-century Pianist-Composer (and the subsequent transition into Pianist-as-Interpreter) turned into a discussion of the Pianist-as-Visionary, then and now. How many visionary musicians have you heard recently?

Your blog on this piece, and Howells’ tempo markings in it, is wonderfully insightful… a must-read to all who play this work. (Though it may mean fewer performances, at least from discerning players…🫢)

A beautiful song for the 50th anniversary of Eric Thiman's death. An inspiring musician, particularly for me, teaching harmony at RAM almost a century later. Songs, chamber music and a significant body of church music.
