A More Specific Blog

I already have one blog, so why this one? For several months I've been thinking about having my own website, as a composer, so that people can have at least a glance at what I'm about. What has kept me from creating it, aside from the actual creation and upkeep, is that I don't think I really have enough to make it that interesting. For now, then, there is this new blog, The Quodlibet. The word comes from Latin and means "what you will," and is a music genre I particularly like where several different tunes are put in counterpoint to each other. Any topic musical I feel like writing about is game, whether it's a work of criticism, such as of a concert or CD, or about something I'm composing or learning, or about music in general. Enjoy!


Speaking of quodlibet's, here's perhaps the most famous one, which ends J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations.
