It is based on an old Irish tune and is kind of a homage to my mother, who was what we in Canada call an "old-time fiddler."Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-64214903879443924542020-09-18T03:51:22.989-05:002020-09-18T03:51:22.989-05:00I love this piece ...

I'm going through the guitar ... can't wait to team up with my violinist .. she is busy, but, then she proposed to me that we team up, so I am holding her to it ...! Of course we will send you any results (that is, results that make us happy ...!)Dex Quirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460141401009787503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-59236107908519615562016-08-27T17:40:27.658-05:002016-08-27T17:40:27.658-05:00Thanks very much Marc!

The MMF people made a wise decision to have the FBO without the awful Honoré production.<br /><br />Thanks for pointing to that Attali post at SD; am listening to Jérôme Ducros's Collège de France lecture later on (there is a version dubbed in English; otherwise it'd take a week, for me). Was prompted by the SD thread to look about for information on John Borstlap-- one sees his comments there regularly, ahem...-- and was pleasantly surprised to discover that he is not only a curmudgeonly commenter. Am listening to the first part of the first movement of his Violin Concerto; very pleasant.<br /><br />Oh, I see that Professor McClary is implicated in the 'personal care musicology' only by her forward to Dr Cheng's book. Doubtless they are both wonderful people but, as you wrote, lots of fun is had by all. Pft. :-)<br /><br />A lovely performance of <i>Surreal Reel</i>! (Am boycotting PayPal for some reason that I cannot immediately recollect but did purchase the Four Pieces score just now, only to find included free the audio download. Thanks.)Marc in Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331547981498637474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-43917316695675043452016-08-27T13:45:31.673-05:002016-08-27T13:45:31.673-05:00Thanks, Christine!

My plans have gotten rather delayed for a lot of complicated reasons, but I will be putting something out sooner or later!Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-57314159071800147392016-08-27T12:44:26.497-05:002016-08-27T12:44:26.497-05:00Really enjoyed that.
