Composer web sites tend to basically follow the same formula: my bio, my pieces, my news, my quotes, my audio clips, etc. They don’t often reveal too much about the composer as a person. Until now, the various iterations of my web site have pretty much followed this formula.
By incorporating a blog, it occurs to me, there’s an opportunity to give the curious reader a somewhat more thorough view of who I am, and what kind of composer I am. It’s also a handy way to keeping the site current, and hopefully to make readers want to come back in the future.
Items here cover a variety of topics including my work, my friends’ work, music in general, reminiscences, parenting, Yiddish curses… whatever’s on my mind, I suppose. Please comment if you find anything interesting or irritating. Or both.
New to blogs?
A great many visitors to this site will not be familiar with the conventions that most blogs follow. I’m also new to it, and I’m just imitating what I’ve seen on other blogs.
There isn’t much to it really. Typically, items appear in reverse chronological order. If you click on the item’s title or the link that says “Permalink”, you’ll see the item on its own page with a form at the bottom where you can post a comment if you wish. If there are other reader comments, this is where they appear.
My blog items are assigned to categories. The list of categories that contain entries is in the sidebar to the left. You can view all items for a given category by following those links.
Blog items are stored on the site indefinitely and can be found using the search box in the sidebar at the left, or the “Archives” links, also in that sidebar.
This site, blog and all, is developed using the amazing WordPress.
