awake in the middle of the knight thinking about Ellen Mack’s sonata duo class at Peabody where I watched her over and over show very good pianists that they rely too much on the sustain pedal and can’t really control the touch or texture without finger pedaling. wish I still had some videos

Whoa, for the 50th anniversary of Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder has released four additional songs from that recording session. “We didn’t add these songs to the album, but they were part of what I was feeling and discovering as we made it.” [pitchfork.com]

Gosh let's talk about something pleasant for a change. A brand-new, open-access translation of CPE Bach's Versuch has just been published, and the translator for Part II (the part about thoroughbass) is the amazing Derek Remeš, precisely the person in the whole world you would want to have do this

Is there any ethnomusicological/cultural studies (really any field, but these seem like the two mostly likely) writings about people participating in musical cultures that they don't enjoy? Like a person who attends raves just because of the community?

nobody cares but I’ve discovered something personally about string playing that is making a big difference. people say you need more pressure playing closer to the bridge but they are wrong. we need only a little more pressure to compensate for increased bow speed relative to contact point.

Count is my favorite Sesame Street character. Pure enthusiasm for a niche interest that constantly annoys people around him, but it doesn’t phase him or his friends. He just is who he is

This is one of the objections I have when people talk about how useful LLMs can be for literature searches or for any kind of search, really. Even beyond the biases that inevitably (and, in some cases, intentionally) show up, part of a good literature search is seeing information *in context.*
