Decorously panicking. Reading poetry to the Mad Hatter. Listening to Haydn with the Walrus. Hanging on to the grin of the Cheshire Cat. Arts, films, stuff.

"To seek it with thimbles, to seek it with care;
To pursue it with forks and hope;
To threaten its life with a railway-share;
To charm it with smiles and soap!

She tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out,
for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.

one of the best things about baking is putting your ear next to a loaf that's freshly out of the oven and listen to it crackle
Bread's done.

Concept translated into American and fully monetised (do I smell an oxymoron here?) ~70 yrs later by Steve Jobs
“When you want to build a ship, do not begin by gathering wood, cutting boards, and distributing work, but awaken within the heart of man the desire for the vast and endless sea.”

Henselpushers does incredible work and deserves all the praise, respect, and (frankly) money we can throw at them!

This kind of multidisciplinary restorative performance and musicology is something music academia should invest in, but that would require a little imagination and self-awareness
WHAT DOES HENSELPUSHERS DO?

A lot! In honor of Fanny Hensel's 220th birthday today, here is an overview of everything on offer.

I've grouped henselpushers' activities into four categories:

1) Free scores
2) Arrangements & special editions
3) Directories & resources
4) Events & Videos

Please enjoy this little known but terrific prelude by Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn), #BOTD.
This Fanny Hensel Prelude in a minor has been in my ears a lot today. Bach for the Romantic era.

And I use it for striking a light:
