Had a great time this morning on Marvin Rosen’s Classical Discoveries radio show in Princeton and on the worldwide Internets.  I didn’t get a chance to play as much of the Sequenza21 concert from last year as I would have liked because Frank (J. Oteri) and Marvin rudely insisted on talking and picking some stuff they wanted to play, too.  I did manage to sneak in Mary Jane Leach’s haunting oboe piece and Jeff Harrington’s three preludes which had the joint jumping.  And, of course, Frank’s very brief guitar piece with the unpronouceable Brazilian name which tied the whole thing together.  I left the CD with Marvin who has promised to play more of it in the coming weeks.  By the way, I was just teasing yesterday.  I chose the pieces I did because they each illustrated an idea that Marvin wanted to talk about.  I love you all…except maybe the guy who suggested I should stick to pop music.
