Statistics!

We are coming up on three big milestones in The Music Salon: any day now we are going to hit 13,000 comments, a little later, 3 million page views and a bit after that, 3,000 posts. The blog has been much more successful and fulfilling than I imagined it would be. But it has certainly been a group effort. On a few occasions I have called on frequent commentators to help out with posts on people like Takemitsu and Messiaen and the comments have always been an engine of knowledge and judgement. In the early days the blog was more basic and educational, nowadays it leans more towards culture, aesthetics and philosophy, but even Russian web spiders aside, it has a solid, regular readership.

Here is a little reward for your frequenting the blog: Prokofiev, Violin Concerto no. 1 with Hilary Hahn.
