which one might call 'wish nearly-fulfilment', I suppose - the idea that you can't have everything you want, but it's only just out of reach.

As in 'tantalism', tinners? David O-S rather enjoyed that kind of idea!  Smiley

There may be one or two people here interested in this:

http://www.sussex.ac.uk/music/1-1.php?output=html&refer=4834&oftype=event&fromdept=1&id=24779

It will be a short concert (one hour-ish) and will contain short new pieces by Michael Finnissy, Robert Saxton, Alison Kay, Martin Butler, Ed Hughes and Sam Hayden.

I am very interested.  I am also, however, thousands of miles away.  Do report back.

Also interested but also miles away (though hundreds not thousands) and mid-term...

For the sake of completion, I now do so! The memorial concert was held yesterday evening, lasting just under an hour and featuring some really wonderful singing from the Sussex Uni choir (Purcell, Tallis, Bruckner and Monteverdi) as well as the new pieces. It was a very touching and lovely occasion, and much appreciated by David's family. We were expecting about 50 people, but in the end more like 90 turned up.

Also, for those who expressed an interest in David's unpublished work earlier in the thread, I can report that two essays will be forthcoming, one on music in fascist Italy, the other being the paper on Clementi David gave shortly before his death. I'll report when I have the details. There is also the first (extremely illuminating) chapter from his projected Berio biography, but the fate of this will be determined by the commissioning editor and publisher...

Yay!  Please do.  I'm finding his writings on Clementi very hard to come by; they seem to be little in evidence in the usual journal-indexing resources to which I have access... and as Clementi is a composer in whom I have a relatively pressing interest (shades of Thierry Pécou's trousers?) I await eagerly.

Evan, I've found out that David's Clementi piece is 'Temps perdu: Aldo Clementi and the Eclipse of
Music as Praxis' and will appear in B. Heile (ed.), The Modernist Legacy: Essays on New Music - to be published by Ashgate later this year.

Thanks for the publication info, martle! And I'm very sorry to have missed the memorial concert - I had planned to come down for that but that was around the point I lost track of this forum for 2 or 3 weeks and I must have failed to note the date. Cry
