Dance me through the panic.
Harry Birtwistle to you, too!... Ah, now don't mistake it for Dance me, Punch, Judy, Orpheus, Gawain, Io and Mrs Kong down by the Melancholia Secret Ritual Linoi Verses Tragoedia Greenwood Cortège Unending Ax Panic Anubis Sampler Clocks. A lot of people make that mistake. |

When I had piano lessons, I played a piece called Le Petit Negre by Debussy. My teacher would always call it The Little N****r Boy because that is how it was known for some time in this country. It's curious how novels with that word in the title by Conrad and Vechten have survived untouched but another by Agatha Christie has been rewritten somewhat.

Dance me through the panic. Ugh. How naff, as you all might say.  Careful Aaron! Somebody will mistake it for "Dance me to the end of love" by Leonard Cohen. Almost as bad as mistaking soap for cheese when making dinner. Nice work, Kb. That is, I am even further embarrassed to admit, the source of the title. It is, in my defense, only a working title, and one that I've known for ages would be changed eventually ..... |

That's in the second movement. Along with Meridian and, er, everything else.  |

I seem to remember there was also a Refrain from in there somewhere.

More embarrassing cringeworthiness. Around 2am last night my subconscious suddenly dredged up the title of a piece I planned but never wrote when I was a 20-year-old dreaming of being a composer. It was to be called - wait for it - " ... joyeux: a preliminary approach"  |

At the risk of self-publicity, may I offer one of my own for consideration?
Three Page Essay Before a Sonata
This is a thumbnail (or rather little finger nail) sketch of things were to occur in my fifth piano sonata, although it is itself scored for oboe and piano.
For the record, I've yet to be sued by the Ives Estate for this...
Best,
Alistair

tinners, lest you think everybody missed it, your putative title from the age of 20 is indeed a doozy.  |

This isn't really a title but it's good for a laugh. Does anyone know Sea Idylls by Walter Carroll - a collection of short piano pieces for beginners, children really? For each one there's a quotation at the top, presumably to inspire the novice player. One of the pieces is called In Harbour and the quotation (from an "Old Play" it says - I'd like to know which) at the top is: What ho, my jovial mates! come on! we'll frolic it
Like fairies frisking in the merry moonshine. |

A set of piano by Garry Judd entitled 3 Knobblers for piano !
Yes, the exclamation mark is part of the title.

Well, since titles aren't copyrightable, I wouldn't lose any sleep ... Well, I'm not entirely sure about that, but I guess I'll try to be optimistic and avoid courting insomnia, although it might also be wise to avoid using titles like Three Places in Merrie England or The Anti-Abolitionist Tea-Party, I suppose (not that it would occur to me to do any such thing, of course). Delius: A Song of Summer (no performances to be given in 2007) Korngold: Die Kathrin (if la Jenkins of that ilk is cast in a production thereof) Holst: Egdon Heath (since the composer would probably not have encouraged Sir Edward of that ilk to conduct it) Feldman: In Search of an OrchestrationFeldman: Why Patterns?Curran: Endangered SpeciesAndriessen: Workers UnionOrnstein/Glass: Suicide in 1000 Airplanes on the RoofOK, I made that last one up (almost)...
