Once again, parallel universes collide. When I read this in the newspaper today, I couldn't help posting it. Forgive me!

BTW, you and Andromaque need to clear your schedules towards the end of March. I'm coming to NYC and expect to meet flesh and blood versions of the two of you. (And others who may be around...)

I'd love to hear you perform Mark! I'd be scared to death of performing in front of a PW audience (even a very small one). That means I should definitely do it.

I always thought small audiences were the scariest, they are paying attention. If you have a large audience, they usually are predisposed to liking you.

BTW, Kreisler.....if you like this idea, I could try to reserve some 'rehearsal' time at Merkin Concert Hall or someplace (my treat), and we could all try out some stuff for one another....
P.S. Kreisler: Will you be doing any public (or semi-public) performing? Yeah...I'm in town for the MTNA Convention and will be accompanying one of the collegiate competitors. He's a saxophonist I regularly play with. It's a 35 minute program and I believe it's open to the public. (Not sure when we play yet, though.) Everyone should come visit the conference, even though it's geared towards piano teachers, most of the major publishers and piano manufacturers have booths at the exhibit hall - including Henle, Vienna Urtext, Frederick Harris, Steinway, Yamaha, etc... You can usually get a huge discount on everything. (Henle editions and Celebration Series for 40-50% off and stuff like that.) Henle usually brings all their new facsimile editions, too, so you can see what's hot off the press.

I wish I could come. I would love to go to the conference as well, and Perahia is playing as well...can't afford the hotel though, why is NYC so expensive...I love the competitions and showcases, and such discounts on music. It is like Christmas in March.

I really shouldn't say anything, because there IS a chance I won't be able to make it, but I'm counting on it at this point.

This thing is escalating in a hurry. I could sort of invite "the press" -- a friend who writes for the NY Times might find this thing of a Piano World jamboree to be interesting, and might be persuaded to play something too.

Heh...I'm scared to death of a PW audience, too. Guess I should start practicing something. Eek!
I'd be more afraid that Mark talks the same way he types....constantly.
