Also on Newmusicbox is a preview of The Listen, a new book by composer and fellow IWU alum and Peter Gilbert and Christopher Jon Honett. Looks like an interesting project, I'm looking forward to reading more.
On another totally unrelated note, I thought for no reason yesterday about the "Tips for Beginners" FAQ on the Austin Symphony's website, which is a really cute, easily mocked, but also kind of well done classical concert primer. My favorite question: "Why don't the musicians smile when they play?" It also includes some good classical music links. I would, however, be happy if no one ever used the word "Maestro" in seriousness ever again. Yuck.
