My concert-mate from last night, DJA, has written a wonderful post about virtuosity. "You learn that the flashiest elements of virtuosity -- like the ability to play very fast with a lot of accuracy -- are not necessarily the most important, and that subtlety and nuance are both more meaningful and more elusive."
And if anybody cares to hear Facing North, check it out in this episode of WNYC's New Sounds. Excerpts from Facing North start around minute 29, with "Long Shadows" starting at minute 37 and "Hocket" just before minute 43. So amazing...
