Hudba na odpoledne.
Kdysi jsem (já vzpupný pitomec) Händela prohlásil za popaře a potom jsem uslyšel Mesiáše a tento žalm a musel jsem se v duchu omlouvat.

The Rite of Spring didn't make an appearance at the #BBCproms until 1947. Was it *that* shocking in 1913? @classicalmusic #ClassicalMusic

This new cello concerto is fantastic. #AnnaThorvaldsdottir #BBCproms #ClassicalMusic @classicalmusic

DO YOU LIKE… Music? Pianos? Good writing? Vancouver? Free chapters?

My friend MS Harker is almost finished writing his book about “the secret life of pianos.”
Get the first chapter free here…
(see the QR code or go to http://dontshootthepianotuner.com )

Since I've been having a lot of fun adapting classical music to chiptune style, I thought maybe I should follow all the way through and make an entire asset pack for RPG-type games...? Since I'm not composing everything from scratch, it could be very affordable relative to the amount of music. This is "Torrent" by Chopin, which I think sounds very Boss Music...

I'm more than half-way through moving all my music from YT Music to my own Funkwhale instance: the classical music is taking longer, because I want to make sure I connect the correct artist/album to the correct MusicBrainz record.

As these are my own copies, I cannot open up my instance to federation, so sharing music will be more difficult than through YT Music, but at least no one will benefit from the clicks/engagement

Question for other classifical music lovers: where do you buy your digital versions of (new/old) classical music albums?

Here's my entry for this month's IndieWeb carnival, hosted by @immarisabel!

I was excited for this prompt since it gives me the opportunity to talk about “color” as it relates to musical timbre, and how I like to emphasize those aspects when I write music:

PIANOS HAVE A “SECRET LIFE?”
My good friend Scott is writing about “the secret life of pianos.” He’s the guy who makes sure visiting (& resident) pianists (jazz & classical) in the greater Vancouver area have tuned & tune-worthy rigs. He’s also a heck of a writer.
I’ve read the recent draft of this book and I’m keen to read more —and to share it. DM me if you’re interested. Or get it via http://dontshootthepianotuner.com

ps. This pic is by Scott.

Australian Chamber Orchestra slams ANU plan as 'cultural vandalism'
By Lily Nothling

The Australian Chamber Orchestra's Richard Tognetti has warned that the ANU's plan to axe its School of Music would result in an "act of cultural vandalism", with another Canberra ensemble saying its offer to help has been rejected.
