It's that time again -- episode six
I've finished another episode of my ongoing book on the future of classical music, and it's online at the usual place. It wraps up the discussion that started two episodes ago, about form and structure in classical music.
And in two weeks, on February 20, the next episode comes out. It's going to mark a new departure. Quite honestly, I'm not happy with the way the book has been going, and I think I've learned how I should have proceeded. So, beginning on February 20, I'm going to start the book all over again. It'll be more orthodox, more focused, and much more clearly centered on the classical music world and its problems -- and on whatever solutions I can offer. I'll keep the old episodes online for anyone to read, but I look at them now as a false start, an ambitious sprint down what turns out to be the wrong path.
Comments, as ever, are welcome. And thanks to all of you, once more, for your interest.
