I get the silliest ideas while practicing - here’s “All of Me” in the style of a “Courante” by J. S. Bach. Enjoy? Kids - ask your parents for a Fadolín!

I don't want to link to Instagram here, but there are some things IG conveys conveniently - such as little a medley of little snippets from a couple of recent shows with the accordionist / composer / pianist Simone Baron --> www.instagram.com/p/DMfahOBgZ6v/

I was so fortunate to have Karen Ritscher as my viola teacher and mentor through high school. Karen shaped generations of talented violists, not just as players but -- perhaps foremost -- as humans.

Ten years ago this week I moved my domain email from Gmail to @fastmail.com — at that point I was looking for a standard IMAP implementation, and ended up staying for the great tech support, superior filters and no tracking.

Unlike the performance marathon that was June, July is more about composing projects -- I have just one show to play and it should be special!
Join us July 20 at 8pm at Barbès with the wonderful accordionist/pianist/composer Simone Baron.

See you out there,

Summer heatwaves in our house almost always mean one thing --- remote recording sessions! Also - not one but FOUR @triofadolin.bsky.social shows this weekend -- two appearances at @metmuseum.org and two shows at Queens Libraries Saturday and Sunday ... ice those preamps and bring it on!

Musician friends, does this happen to you? You AirDrop a new version of a score into ForScore on an iPad but keep getting incremental duplicates instead of an option to overwrite your existing score? This has baffled me for a long time -- but now I've figured it out. 1/2

Back in New York after performing w National Sawdust Ensemble in the premiere of very moving & transformative Paola Prestini opera “Sensorium Ex” as part of the @csensesfest in Omaha! An opera that dreams in possibility, giving voice & a platform to a community largely unheard in today’s arts.

"I've been played once before" -- in the sense that this music has been played at least once in the past. I've had a personal website for ~25 years but have never managed to make my sheet music available directly until now.

Wow, the new version of @doricoofficial.bsky.social has cutaway scores!! Here’s hoping that Dorico team will find a way to create a “Danuta” font to honor Danuta Lutosławska, wife of composer Witold Lutosławski and his devoted copyist. #danuta #lutoslawski #dorico #musicnotation #lifechanging
