Think Denk: Vernacular Appeal of Melodic Simplicity and Harmonic Redundancy
http://jeremydenk.blogspot.com/2007/04/vernacular-appeal-of-melodic-simplicity.html
The glamorous life and thoughts of a concert pianist. Friday, April 27, 2007. Vernacular Appeal of Melodic Simplicity and Harmonic Redundancy. I know the classical blogosphere will be seriously mourning Rostropovich. However, I personally am finding some redemptive light at the end of the tunnel over at Prof. Heebie McJeebie's Classical Pontifications. From Ms. Hussington's interview:. Why is the piece called Jazz Improvisations if there's no improvisation? Happened. It was in the past. April 27, 2007.

Think Denk: Day 6: In Which I Lose My Mind
http://jeremydenk.blogspot.com/2007/05/day-6-in-which-i-lose-my-mind.html
The glamorous life and thoughts of a concert pianist. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. Day 6: In Which I Lose My Mind. Outside, in the breeze beyond Bach, taxis honked, buses squeaked and squealed, and distant domestic disputes were carried, reverberant and miffy, down invisible Amsterdam Avenue; then, all was quiet. I heard only my keyboard clicking, seemingly of its own volition, googling scraps of my subconscious while I sat helpless in a salsa stupor. Day 6, day 6. Riveted, I read on . Are you KIDDING me?

Think Denk: Seven Days
http://jeremydenk.blogspot.com/2007/05/seven-days.html
The glamorous life and thoughts of a concert pianist. Thursday, May 10, 2007. In the leadup to my 37th birthday, and perhaps to slightly ameliorate the pain of its arrival, now I present seven straight days of blogging on one movement of the 4th Partita of Bach, the Allemande . just to demonstrate, if I haven't already, the extent to which I am capable of obsessing.]. Bach sees Jane run. At the beginning of the Allemande of the 4th Partita, in the left hand, a plain Jane progression:. The surrender to sl...

Think Denk: Day 5: One Plus One
http://jeremydenk.blogspot.com/2007/05/day-5-one-plus-one.html
The glamorous life and thoughts of a concert pianist. Monday, May 14, 2007. Day 5: One Plus One. An Allemande has two halves. There is something about this "two-halviness" that I think often gets forgotten, or taken for granted. Studious analysts, we can go through and chart all the alterations, note the composer’s developmental handiwork (here’s x, and here’s y, and they are reordered, etc. etc.) …. 1st half A B C D E F G H I. 2nd half A B C E J! A bit of F D K G H I (L) I. It contests the claim which w...

Think Denk: Day 3: Love Meets Livestock (G-rated)
http://jeremydenk.blogspot.com/2007/05/day-3-love-meets-livestock-g-rated.html
The glamorous life and thoughts of a concert pianist. Saturday, May 12, 2007. Day 3: Love Meets Livestock (G-rated). My favorite scene in Don Quixote. Sancho is telling a story to calm himself and his delusional master. It’s about a goatherd, Lope, who’s in love with a shepherdess:. 8230; Torralba, the shepherdess, who was a stout girl, and wild, and a little mannish because she had something of a mustache…. Whereupon, Don Quixote offers his magnificent wisdom:. A million humiliating moments from my life...

Think Denk: February 2007
http://jeremydenk.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
The glamorous life and thoughts of a concert pianist. Monday, February 26, 2007. There is probably a better way of putting this. But who cares? I enjoy Beethoven the most when he doesn't insist so much on being "manly." For example, the “Eroica” Symphony is just manly enough; the last movement of the Fifth Symphony is way too manly, etcetera etcetera …. Beethoven’s anomalies, his offbeat sforzandi. Sometimes I wonder: why, oh why, Ludwig, do you have to mean them SO MUCH? For instance, Op. 96. Be...There...

glued to the string: Blog recommendation - "Thoughts of a String Educator"
http://gluedtothestring.blogspot.com/2009/10/blog-recommendation-thoughts-of-string.html
Glued to the string. Playing bass, teaching music, raising kids, and blogging about it. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Blog recommendation - "Thoughts of a String Educator". Here's an excellent blog. I just ran across, by an orchestra teacher calling himself "orchestra guy" (which is a bit like "batman", except without all the pricey gear). Quote from Thoughts of a String Educator. First, we need to encourage or even force our students to be. Musicians. They need to be. Scientists in science class. Be.

glued to the string: December 2007
http://gluedtothestring.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Glued to the string. Playing bass, teaching music, raising kids, and blogging about it. Monday, December 10, 2007. Free Online Resources - Portnoi's book. I'm sure this one has been floating around for a while, but I just found out about it this weekend, thanks to LHoward's post on the TalkBass Forums. This seems to be a very well thought-out and thorough method, and Portnoi seems to have gone to great pains to explain the "how" and "why" of all the technique very thoroughly.
