Music/Life: Concert nerves
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/concert-nerves.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Thursday, October 16, 2014. About a year ago (shortly after I became more at liberty after I left my full-time job), I was asked to play in a trio - flute, cello, and piano. The flutist is principal in my orchestra and is an excellent player, as is the pianist, so I agreed. Earlier this year we began rehearsing a short program with the plan to play it once in October and once in November. Macfarren Trio in A. The quality of your articles and contents is great.

Music/Life: April 2014
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Reflections on a gig. There were some good and not so good things about playing with an orchestra at the Kennedy Center. The best part was playing on a beautiful real stage, with plenty of room; good chairs, lighting, and sight lines (yes! I could see the conductor! And no religious emblems on display (sorry if that offends anyone, but that stuff always makes me uncomfortable). The not so good:. That's me, inside second stand:. At th...

Music/Life: May 2014
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Friday, May 30, 2014. And what of the piano? I haven't mentioned piano in a while, but rest assured that I am still taking my weekly lessons and practicing diligently every day. My current program:. Scales, arpeggios, broken arpeggios, chord progressions (one key per week). Three-finger exercise (where you play 1-2-3, then 2-3-4, then 3-4-5 for an octave, up with the right hand, down with the left hand; first white keys, then chromatic, then whole tones).

Music/Life: December 2014
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Friday, December 26, 2014. A couple of weeks ago, I was perusing Facebook and saw a post by one of my FB friends about a meeting of a local group that gets together to play the viola da gamba. It was featured on one of our local NPR stations:. Local Viol Fans Stay Loyal. I went to pick them up the next day. I had no idea what to expect. The pickup location turned out to be a modest retirement community, rows of plain one-story buildings spread out like cater...

Music/Life: July 2014
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Saturday, July 26, 2014. Old - eight eyes? I've worn glasses since I was 8 years old. At first I would sometimes forget to put them on when I went to school; as time passed and I became more nearsighted, they progressed from optional to necessary. Friday, July 4, 2014. What happened to June? After an hour or so of that, I had to rush over to a rehearsal for a concert of Piazzolla tangos with a small string ensemble. This was the same group I played the a...

Music/Life: January 2014
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Sunday, January 19, 2014. In the interests of honesty . My performance of the Brahms Rhapsody today was, um, kinda bad. So the sole relic of the occasion I'm going to share here is a still from the video:. Friday, January 17, 2014. There's a pleasant recording of the piece here on IMSLP (hard to believe the pianist is 90 years old! Piano Sonata No. 27, Op. 90, performed by Randolph Hokanson. Wednesday, January 15, 2014.

Music/Life: Cello Tales
http://mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/cello-tales.html
A blog about musical pursuits and experiences. Monday, October 6, 2014. I have a video recommendation - this documentary:. The blurb at the above link:. Four strings, a wooden box that has lived for 300 years. The cello is the most human-like of all musical instruments in shape, size and sound. The cello. More than just a musical instrument. It's about an hour and a quarter, mostly in German, with English subtitles. I didn't try to download it and just watched online. June 9, 2016 at 2:08 AM. No one can ...
