Alton Benes!

Joey Ramone. 11:29 PM. Midtown East.

Best thing about a free concert at the library is… you’re at the library!

From last Saturday night in Philly, the Erinys Quartet in George Crumb's 1970 classic, Black Angels, part of a great evening by the Curtis New Music Ensemble 📷: Margo Reed Studio

🎶If you’re floofy and you know it, grab a branch!🎶

At dinner with @noramaynard.bsky.social C: “Anyway, that’s when I was studying with so-and-so—he was a Schenker guy…” N: “Doctors have a cure for that now!” C: “Ask your musicologist!”

Ida Lupino, George Raft y #BOTD Ann Sheridan se divierten en el set de They Drive by Night (Raoul Walsh, 1940).

This should be posted and watched monthly. No weekly. No---daily! Or on a continuous loop.... youtu.be/-JIhv6sjqew?...

Kind of cool that Antokoletz and Taruskin both went to High School of Music & Art.

Canada!!!

Das Hagen quartet at 92NY tonight.

I was lucky enough to study 18th C counterpoint and Schenker with Richard S. Parks, but really wish I could have studied Debussy with him! His book came out just around the time I was taking his other classes.

Yay!!!! Two Dolphins on the East River between 78th-90th street this afternoon

NY Phil tonight: Saariaho, Berg, Messiaen, Debussy.

Do you understand how badly you have to fuck up to make Quebec sing the anthem with this much pride

New Carnegie Hall 2025-26 season just dropped. Reading through like a kid (ha) in a candy store. Jan 22, @igorpianist.bsky.social performs LvB Diabelli and Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated! 100% will be going to that!

Nothing on today's schedule but composing!

Now deleting Google Maps. If it won’t be accurate, there’s no point in using it.

‘Sup Erb! O Wow! Love your music!

They're really calling that Strad the "Joachim-Ma" and not the "Jo-Jo-Ma"?

Just heartbreaking what happened to the Lenox Lounge; it was such a beautiful place to listen to live music.

Cool Polish language thing I noticed. Endings of the words for days of the week ('ek' or 'a') follow the same pattern as the minor ('ek') or major ('a') 3rds in the diatonic scale harmonization! poniedziałek a min wtorek b min środa C maj czwartek d min piątek e min sobota F maj niedziela G maj
