May last, or May Day has traditionally been associated with Labor Day or the onset of summer. Tell me something you truly enjoy about your work or what, if any plans, you have for the summer?

The gorgeous and colorful images of Marc Chagall’s violinists lingers with a dirty little secret! I love Klezmer music. It is woven deep into my being. Here is the exciting clarinetist, David Krakauer with a dazzling work davidkrakauer.bandcamp.com/album/mazel-to…

Tomorrow is International Dance Day! When in college, I did Balkan Folk Dance with Opanke, the pointy shoes. Did you or do you dance? What type?

Happy Birthday to a most complete composer, Sergei Prokofiev. The astonishing maestro wrote works for piano, violin, voice (many operas) and a range of sizzling symphonies. Many young people learn from his remarkable, Peter and the Wolf! And he was a brilliant pianist too.

Had a great time today seeing Funny Girl with my son who is visiting from out of state. Love this musical.

Spring blooms combined with my sweet Australian Cattle Dog makes for a loving and joyful day.

There is no question that Daniel Trifonov is an exhilarating pianist. His Gershwin PC and this short work by Apple/Art Tatum, my jaw dropped. His understanding of American Music and complex jazz rhythms is remarkable. A 3 minute listen

Barbara Cohen Prokofiev had a very strong influence on Alexander Tcherepnin, who idolized him, but it is Tcherepnin who is still completely overshadowed (also commercially) by Prokofiev & Shostakovich. Below the recording of the very impressive 6th Piano Concerto [1965].
