Welcome to my blog

For the most part this blog will be about classical music. It will focus on the "great" artists and composers of the past, eschewing for the most part the day-to-day goings on. 

Since I have no formal musical training, I learned a lot from Bernstein's Young Peoples Concerts, Andras Schiff's lectures, Maria Callas' masterclasses, and of course by listening to a lot of music! Therefore, some of the following posts will be a companion of sorts to this type of material, with embedded musical scores and audio, allowing folks like myself to learn more about music straight from the "greats".

The other part of this blog of course, will entail my opinionating on music -- hopefully referencing the score in some useful way. As usual, it's up to the reader to sort through the rubbish to find what's actually useful to them; I'll try my best to make it an easy search.
