 I majored in music, and performed and recorded mostly classical music. Questions about classical style, performance and performance practices of the Renaissance to Classical era (ca. 1400 a.d. - 1830 a.d.) music are welcome, and I am well versed in other eras and styles. I have some experience in world music and jazz, but I have almost none in rock, rap, hip-hop, blues, pop, soul... so you should find someone else for good answers in those areas. My main interests and experience are in performance of brass instruments, and composition, form, and analysis of classical and modern music. This includes; trumpet, horn, and trombone technique, as well as tuba to a lesser extent; early instrument technique, performance, and embellishment - especially re. cornetto (early brass family); composition styles and theory. I am not willing to answer homework or assignment questions outright, but I am willing to lead you in the right direction if you are honestly willing to do your part. All other questions are welcome - if I don't know the answer, I will try my contacts, and if none of us do, I will let you know.

2013-04-29 Debussey's Prelude book 2 no.1 "Brouillards":

Hello!    There is often a misunderstanding about Debussy and pedal outside France (and much in France, too, to be fair).  Debussy wanted CLEAR sounds and kept saying this often in his life to other pianists

2013-04-26 Richard Wagner:

I wish I could help you more, but your friends are largely correct.  It is not a myth.  Wagner was an anti-Semite who blamed all the ills in the arts on Jewish management, although nearly all of his works
