My piece Callisto is being played on the Californian classical music station Classical KUSC on Friday 3rd, around 8am PDT on Jennifer Miller Hammel's morning show (4pm GMT for UK people, and google will sort it out for anyone else). If there's enough
I know there probably isn't any standard, but just wondering what are the usual paper sizes employed for a conductor's score with 16-18 staves? Something that's comfortable to read and not too spaced out that it's difficult to pick out the lines at
