Fredrick,
Hope the holiday was a good one for you and family. I was really happy to get back on here after a brief hiatus and find new Zinos material, which I'm enjoying presently. Some exemplary counterpoint therein, and, as always, stimulating, provocative, and intelligently articulated musical thoughts. Kudos again sir.

I enjoyed the Von Karajan link Fredrick. It was classic and I loved it! I didn't leave a comment because I was busy making supper with my family although I notice that didn't stop me from leaving silly comments in the SHORTER conversation . . . sometimes I never learn my lessons! :(
Jeezuz H. Khrist! What a performance! The long forte ((4:26 through 5:24) is inhumanly good. Thanks for showing this to me.
BTW, a little known and seldom understood fact: Von Karajan loved flying and MAY have been a member of the Lufwafe. At any rate, once he got into music and had to travel a great deal he invented a kind of luggage that bears his name and is still popular with airline travelers to this day.
Thanks for posting the link to the Karajan rehearsal, a really nice find. I could watch that for hours if it went on. I had no idea the amount of detail in the preparation. I thought I'd return the favour by posting a link to my favorite Beethoven symphony movement 8/1, Karajan conducting. The only thing that could top this movement is watching Karajan conduct it.
ps the REquiem will be performed at that concert of course..... I have also been growing, I think, as a composer, trying new things and being a bit more daring -- but i want to be daring wisely, so i really feel at home with it, and not just flailing about doing anything without a structure -- its a struggle, but well worth it, I think....
Hi Frederick -- well, yes i've been kind of busy, some with music, some with other things. A bit of a rough year; lost a close friend. End of 2010 I will have a concert of my music, so am very busy working on my score cleanup. Also was requested to write a piece for a local choral group, and etc, etc. It's good to hear from you! I hope you are well and wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season! Best wishes, Karen
Fredrick, appily I could detect, that you were wrong: You have a lot of talent (and skills) and without ambition you wouln't have written this music. I really enjoyed listening to your work! And you have a talent for witty, off-beat writing. It was entertaining staying on your page. Thank you!
Thank you, Fredrick, for listening to my music and leaving your nice comment! I will return to you page with more time and will read and, perhaps, comment.
Fredrick, Thanks for listening. I'll put down my thoughts on the linkage between the "math" (Fibonacci numbers specifically) and retrogradibility / invertibility in a blog soon, maybe tomorrow.
OK Fredrick, I've overcome the little problem with Scorch viewer, or rather, circumvented it altogether. I just printed screen shots of D minor fugue and assembled a patchwork score. It's apparent that you did not construct this work on a keyboard, unless you were playing barefoot. It's my opinion that one should not try to span a keyboard interval wider than his shoe size with confidence, which limits me to a tenth, and thus the Fugue in D minor, to two takes and a mix. I'm already working on it.
Speaking of intervals, please listen to Fantasy XIII. The subject is a mapping of the Fibonacci sequence on the diatonic scale, and the countersubjects are the retrograde and melodic inversion of that subject, hence 'Fibonacci's Mirror'.
I'll let you know when I'm done with D minor fugue.
Sorry Fredrick, I didn't mean to imply I mean to improve/ alter it in any way, just to cover it.
I actually don't have Sibelius' software, except the free "scorch" viewer downloaded from their site. I tried to print F in D minor, but it only prints the first page, and superimposes "sibeliusmusic.com" diagonally and repeatedly across the whole page. Do you have a PDF or other image file of the score you can send along to me?
