Happening in San Francisco right now:

When was this live recording of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite made? It sounds uncharacteristically rough for a 2009 release. Wondering if it's actually super old footage. open.spotify.com/album/5zfXAnfI…

Is there a meaningful difference between a 'duo' and a 'duet' in classical literature? (Someone asked me why I'm calling my bassoon duo a 'duo' rather than a 'duet,' and I'm not sure I can explain why.)

Is LA getting any eclipse action tomorrow? If so, where/how to partake?

'Basically, I'm kerning lines of music.'

Wut.

working on program notes, performance notes, and other final tasks for my bassoon duo! crowdcast.io/c/woodshed-04-…

1 week 'til this bassoon commission is due! 🙏🏼 Wonder if I'll ever stop hearing everything in life as a bassoon multiphonic (doubtful).

How playable is this bassoon 1 part at♩= 152? Are there any particularly problematic notes or slurs? Is the tempo unreasonable?

Bassoonists, would you rather see a brief clef change (to bass clef), or an 8vb? Example below (tempo is 8th=160).
