The new episode of my book on the future of classical music went online today, Monday, January 9. It’s about structure in classical music, and starts to talk about my take on how structure works. I’ll be continuing on the same subject in Episode Five, which will go onlin on January 23. I aim to have these episodes available at 12:00 AM on these days (midnight of the night before). But note that this is Eastern Standard Time (New York time), in the United States. Readers outside this time zone — and especially International readers — will find the episode earlier, or later.
I’m happy to be back to work on this. Comments welcome, as always! And if you’d like to be notified by e-mail when new episodes are posted, write me with “subscribe” in the subject line at gsandow@artsjournal.com.
