\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The moment when you knew you wanted to be a musician:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I heard Fritz (not Gustav) Mahler conduct Beethoven’s Seventh.<\/p>\n

An important skill for a career in music that does not have anything to do with an instrument or making music:<\/strong><\/p>\n

An interest in developing entrepreneurial ability.<\/p>\n

Two ways you stay motivated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playing and listening to other’s music.<\/p>\n

Latest Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing a book: “Practicum Preparatory to Post-Tonal Composition”
\nRelease date TBA<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What inspired it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The possibility of developing a foundation technique for composing music in an age where<\/p>\n

post-tonality and extended tonality exist side by side. The usual composition texts proceed with style study, and PC set theory with comparatively little or superficial attention to post-tonal rhythm. How time is made manifest seems more basic to different musical styles than selected pitch class combinations.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s on it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beside myself– former students, venerable published texts.<\/p>\n

How do you discover new music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paying attention to new scores, recordings and concert life here and abroad.<\/p>\n

One living and one dead musician that deserves more attention:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Living: Carter Pann
\nDead: Johann Pisendel<\/p>\n
