Pollini on Chopin
Happy 80th to Maurizio Pollini!
In a 2006 interview Maurizio Pollini discussed his relationship with the works of Chopin, which began most publicly with his victory at the International Chopin Piano Competition in 1960. âThe music of Chopin has been with me my entire life, since when I was a boy. My love for the music of Chopin has become greater and greater for years, perhaps because I understand better this musicâŠEach noteâŠ

Mick Taylor and âTime waits for no oneâ
In a 2012 interview, Mick Taylor was asked whether there was a particular recording from his days with The Rolling Stones that he was the most proud of or felt best represents him.
âMy favorite one in terms of my own guitar playing,â Taylor responded, âis Time waits for no one. I love that solo. I think itâs probably the best thing I did with the Stones. Itâs not one of their hits; it was anâŠ

Asante gold-dust weights
 Until the second half of the mid-19th century, the Asante and related peoples of Ghana and the Ivory Coast used small brass castings made by the lost-wax process as weights for measuring their gold-dust currency.
These weights, made in large numbers by professional metal workers, came in all shapes and sizes. There were two sorts of weights: those which represent miniature objects, creatures,âŠ

Gershwin and Berg
Celebrating Gershwin's 120th!
 Most fans of George Gershwinâs music would be surprised to learn of his admiration for an early atonal masterpiece: Alban Bergâs Wozzeck. He visited Berg in Vienna, and the score he owned of Wozzeck was one of his most prized possessions; he traveled to Philadelphia in 1931 to attend the workâs American premiere.
Gershwinâs opera Porgy and Bess is heavily indebted to Wozzeck. These debtsâŠ

Trude Rittmann, unsung Broadway hero
 Gertrud âTrudeâ Rittmann was on her way to becoming one of Germanyâs most promising young composers when the rise of Nazism forced her to flee to the United States in 1937.
Through her work as accompanist and music director in the New York ballet world, Rittman met Agnes De Mille; the two subsequently collaborated closely on the creation of dance music for several landmark Broadway shows.

From virginal to TangentenflĂŒgel
From virginal to TangentenflĂŒgel
 A small polygonal virginal built by Franciscus Bonafinis in 1585 was ingeniously converted to a tangent pianoin 1717; this was accomplished simply by replacing its jacks with shorter slips of wood and moving its strings so that they lie directly over the jack slots, producing an instrument with struck rather than plucked strings whose sound varies in loudness with the force applied to theâŠ

Bhad Bhabie arrives
 In 2017 a Florida teenager went from a notorious segment on the Dr. Phil show to signing a major-label record deal as a rapper.
A September 2016 episode of the daytime talk show featured a segment called âI want to give up my car-stealing, knife-wielding, twerking 13-year-old daughter who tried to frame me for a crime!â with Danielle Bregoliand her exasperated mother. Soon after airing, a clipâŠ

Cubaâs corneta china
 As one of the four main ethnic groups in Cuba, the Chinese people have made notable cultural contributions. Among the most significant of these is the corneta china, a shawm derived from the Chinese suona.
The instrument is no longer played by Chinese Cubans; rather, the corneta china has been appropriated by other ethnic groupsâparticularly in the eastern region of the island, where it isâŠ

Celebrating Joan Tower's 80th!
In 2005 and 2006 Joan Towerâs Made in America embarked on a tour of all 50 American states, featured on programs by some 65 orchestras. In an interview just after the workâs premiere, the composer looked ahead to the experience:
âIâm very curious as to the way they view me as a living composer, because Iâm a litmus test. Iâm very curious as to how theyâll negotiate my piece. Now, I know some ofâŠ

African pianism and musicology
 The African pianism developed by the Nigerian composer Akin Euba (above) is not well-suited to the research style of traditional musicology, and the limitations of conventional musicological perspectives and analytical models for research on this cultural phenomenon are obvious.
Ethnomusicology and other disciplines such as cultural anthropology may provide approaches and viewpoints that canâŠ

Meshell Ndegeocello, pushing boundaries
Celebrating Meshell Ndegeocello's 50th!
 The complexity and range of Meshell Ndegeocelloâs hip-hop works extend largely from her willingness to push boundariesâbut in pushing sexual and gender boundaries, Ndegeocello declines to traffic in singular dimensions. Danyel Smith has described her as âan African American, woman, lesbian, musician, and motherâ who thrives on âpondering the riddles that accompany all her selves.â

Stockhausenâs universalism
Celebrating Stockhausen's 90th birthday!
 Karlheinz Stockhausenâs Telemusik represents an effort to create universally valid music.
In an analogy to Le Corbusierâs modulor concept, Telemusik is based on a proportional framework constructed on the Fibonacci series, through which so-called Klangobjekteâboth found sounds and electronically modulated ones of the most diverse ethnic provenanceâacquire musical form.
Still, the limits of theâŠ
