Jonathan, don't ever destroy anything! I learnt a long time ago that work is never wasted, just improperly applied sometimes. (Does anyone else long to know what Varese's pre-1915 - was it? - music was like?) Richard, I'm at that 'all the dots are on the page but that last chord needs tweaking and I need to beef up the shimmery bit with some extra string harmonics and I really don't know if the tuba solo is going to sound like Tubby or not perhaps it'd be better on the contrabassoon' stage. Two hours, max. Otherwise it would take another year of dithering.  |

Morning tonyb, t-p and everyone!
I am happy today because in the next two hours I will have finished a piece of music that has taken me almost a year to write! Ho martle, the good thing about that is that it won't just make you happy, it ought to make quite a few listeners (and even, dare I say it, musicologists ) happy too. Cheers!  |

Are you happy this morning Mary?
I am reasonably happy, but the weather here isn't as beautiful as yesterday. It must be wonderful to be able to compose, even if you are never satisfied. I can write poetry, up to a point, but composing - never. Britten used the child analogy a lot. He once said, "I wish I didn't give birth to so many unruly children". Also, "A mother always loves her youngest child best" - referring to his latest opera, I think Midsummer Night's Dream. I'd have thought that was a questionable statement, but he was a youngest child! So am I. Perhaps there's some truth in it. |

I'd have thought that one was questionable too, Mary. And I'm an eldest child ...

Jonathan, don't ever destroy anything! I learnt a long time ago that work is never wasted, just improperly applied sometimes. (Does anyone else long to know what Varese's pre-1915 - was it? - music was like?) Hi Martle, It's about 15 years too late for the works I did destroy! Still, I'm in the habit of starting lots of things (projects is probably a good term), leaving them for years and then finihing them off in a great hurry (I've now transferred all my tapes to the computer - it took over 6 months but now it's done). All I need to do is write another few hundred shell labels and then that project is finished. Next 'prjects' will be completing Le Chasseur Maudit, getting my paino technique back to where it once was and finishing my book |

Tonybob, this is addictive, really, but I have to run. I managed to get to some level (don't know what). I think it is a creative process in a way and makes me relax. I think one has to be positive and relax to open creative process. I am sure martle piece is a good one. I don't know why I think that, but I do.  I am dancing because martle finished his piece. I only arranged one piece so far (Beethoven's variations for piano) for a trio. Now I am doing second piece (Mish Levitsky Valse). I have so many doubts and things can be done in so many different ways. I enjoy it very much. But it is a lot of work, printing and all. I am only dreaming to write something myself just to hear something (even if it is not an epic great piece). Just the fact that one can write something and hear it is great. |

Thankyou t-p!
And keep writing yourself. Which Beethoven variations did you arrange?

Congratulations Martle!! (not turtle or frogle or troggle) And thanks for The Troggs, Richard  New to me and what a rare privilege to eavesdrop on the actual moment of creativity. So unlike the rehearsal tapes of our own dear Amadeus Quartet. |
