Re: Far off, but always timely
Thank you, Alex! You, of course, are very experienced in giving such lectures; for me, it is a first. Although I am a regular, week-in, week-out lecturer in Music Theory, Harmony, and the like, this is something quite different. I have started thinking about what to say, and plan to make some notes, keep the better ideas, scrap the rest...
What I do know at least is what music of mine I will use to showcase polyphonic writing for plucked instruments —which topic is, of course, the transparent allusion of my poetic "Voice(s) Inside". I have already decided on my Studio a quattro for the mandolinists in the audience, and the Preludio of my Mimose for the guitarists— the latter one edited by one of the world's greatest authorities on the subject.
I hope that the lecture will be inspiring. I don't so much wish that the participants will be oh-so-impressed by the music that I have written, as that they will be motivated to go home and write some of their own musical ideas in a richer, deeper, more artistic idiom. That, at least, is what I hope and aspire to.
Cheers, and thanks for your encouragement.
