Teaching Romantic history today. I love how discussion of the 19th-century Pianist-Composer (and the subsequent transition into Pianist-as-Interpreter) turned into a discussion of the Pianist-as-Visionary, then and now. How many visionary musicians have you heard recently?

Your blog on this piece, and Howells’ tempo markings in it, is wonderfully insightful… a must-read to all who play this work. (Though it may mean fewer performances, at least from discerning players…🫢) jclinch.com/2024/04/17/p...

Playing Howells: The Paean Problem

I recently tried an experiment. I downloaded a metronome app that allowed me to use presets and programmed it for the various tempos in Herbert Howells’ 1940 ‘Paean’ for organ. I then practised a l…

A beautiful song for the 50th anniversary of Eric Thiman's death. An inspiring musician, particularly for me, teaching harmony at RAM almost a century later. Songs, chamber music and a significant body of church music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyCd...

Madness. An outstanding music department (along with many others) is just going to be thrown in the bin. Have we lost all sense of value today?

T. S. Eliot died on this day in 1965. This photograph showing his empty desk was taken at the Faber office on Russell Square the day after Eliot's death.

Like any art worth bothering about, Elgar’s music is not bound by national or any other identity. Some of the best Elgar I have ever heard and ever will was played by the Staatskapelle Berlin under Daniel Barenboim—more than once. Yet, as my own relationship to England becomes, whether I like it …

“I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.” My Sunday.
