Composers Forum is a daily web log that allows invited contemporary composers to share their thoughts and ideas on any topic that interests them--from the ethereal, like how new music gets created, music history, theory, performance, other composers, alive or dead, to the mundane, like getting works played and recorded and the joys of teaching. If you're a professional composer and would like to participate, send us an e-mail.
Record companies, artists and publicists are invited to submit CDs to be considered for review. Send to: Jerry Bowles, Editor, Sequenza 21, 340 W. 57th Street, 12B, New York, NY 10019
Elodie is totally eloquent, and a realist. And Beth is right on when she writes "I think we need to focus on writing the music itself". That's the be-all and end-all of why we're composers in the first place -- right?
A composition major in a lesson this morning asked several questions about how to gain a reputation as a composer...I know what I answered -- what would you say?
