Also welcome to Mr Hinton (I seem to have missed where you have posted, if you have done so already?)

Thank you all. Just been reading so far - including the "Sorabji Appreciation" thread (as you may imagine)... Best, Alistair |

A warm welcome Alistair. You will, of course, be saddened at the omission of Glen Grant.
Cheers!

Thank you! Glen Grant? Spelling notwithstanding, that's a Canadian pianist and and Italian pianist, n'est-ce pas? Glendronach 18-y-o, anyone? (or Laphroaig 30-y-o, if anyone's feeling exceptionally indulgent?)... Best, Alistair |

Alastair, are you the composer of that three-and-a-half hour piano quartet? A warm welcome howsoever.

Thank you for the warm welcome, even though the "howsoever" might be seen as sounding as though it might be less warm and welcoming if I really were the composer of "that" (which?) three-and-a-half hour piano quartet! I have never written a piano quartet, as it happens. I think that I may know of what you write, however - and if it is my string quintet that plays for 2 hours 50 minutes then I plead guilty as (almost) charged, m'lud, so help me God - and I say in my defence only that I have never written anyting else on such a scale. Time to be sentenced now, perhaps...(!) Best, Alistair |

Alastair forgive my memory, the string quintet is the piece I was trying to recall. I was miffed to miss most of it
but I recall your enlightening interview. It's a formidable piece of work and it's going to be a pleasure to have you around.

my string quintet that plays for 2 hours 50 minutes Welcome, Alastair. For those of us who don't know your work, do tell us the how and why of its great length. |

my string quintet that plays for 2 hours 50 minutes Welcome, Alastair. For those of us who don't know your work, do tell us the how and why of its great length. The question is much easier than the answer, I fear; all I can really say is that that's the way it went - and had to go - although, that said, I was considerably surprised when I came to time the piece after completing it and found how long it seemed to be (and even then I underestimated it). I realise that this is not a very helpful answer, but I can't really offer anything better, in all honesty. The first four of its five movements are not of inordinate length - around 22, 7½, 10 and 3½ respectively; now you see where the "problem" lies! But that's the way the piece is... Best, Alistair |
