Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

That's a frustration about music - playing skills are evanescent. . .

. . . unless they're honed regularly!

In the meantime, I got a call from a teacher a couple of hours ago who wants to start up "virtual recitals" with her students. She wants to start with the Bruch Violin Concerto - maybe not the best piece, since it has those unaccompanied improvisatory parts at the beginning which everybody does differently.

Anyway, it would work like this: the student would play and record her part, which I would then listen to over headphones while I play and record the orchestral reduction. The teacher would then edit the two recordings together, and Voila! A virtual performance of the Bruch Violin Concerto! (I'm particularly sorry that this would not be a live performance though - this particular student is a very fine example of the many young babe violinists we have in our area - and I'll miss our banter during the rehearsals!)
