I am maybe excessively sad about one who struggled to get out of the chrysalis. It seemed like it was taking too long, and when I checked back later it was on the floor, still wrapped in the bottom half of the chrysalis and unable to mov but wiggling its legs. I picked it up, helped get the rest off

A pianist friend told me this book outlines a similar method approach, although each personās will be unique. Iāve never looked at the book but Iām not surprised the general method is not unique www.google.com/books/editio...

Itās just notating phrase lengths and groupings plus small extra pieces of contextual information ad hoc. Breaking the piece down into phrase groups and characterizing them in any way that makes sense to the player is the method. Making a map and playing off the map usually means itās memorized

This is also my joke about 10 years of grad school every time I have to move all the desks before teaching class because somebody left them all in a pile to clear space for a chamber music rehearsal the previous night. Absolutely slayed the furniture-moving section on my comps.

Aeropress you just plunge the cup out, vs French press needing to scoop the grounds out once they are drained and relatively dry and clean the metal filter. Itās torture. Coffee grounds down garbage disposal or sink is a big no thanks in my experience, can cause huge expensive problems
dankettercello (@danielketter.com)
I might try French press more often but oh my god it is so annoying to try to clean, especially if you donāt want grounds going down your sink drain. What am I missing, how do people do this every day

I have tried similar with a 1-2 hour rule for college assignments, paired with the insistence that students never feel they need to suffer in silence. Sometimes it works well, and I think frees students to engage in time limited process vs only thinking product
dankettercello (@danielketter.com) reply parent
I had a math teacher with a 30 minute rule: if you spent 30 mins on homework but couldnāt finish, just write 30 mins at the top and youāll get full credit. Caveat that you will likely be asked to have a meeting with teacher to see what you are misunderstanding that is taking so long.

Fever didnāt care whether the playing was high quality, and I see how this can cannibalize a more active freelance scene if itās pulling people away from the more established series, which I have heard some about in LA, but it could be just regular griping
dankettercello (@danielketter.com) reply parent
The cheapness of the gimmick made it crystal clear to me that a lot of classical musicās audience issue is marketing related; candlelight was good at getting all kinds of people that wouldnāt necessarily go to the symphony out to pay premium prices for a concert
dankettercello (@danielketter.com) reply parent
$500 for an easy weeknight gig is good enough to put upward pressure on regular freelance rates, which is VERY good for a local music ecosystem I think
dankettercello (@danielketter.com) reply parent
It worked for us when the regional manager let us choose our own programming and stopped working when the new manager wanted us to only do their pop programs and no more classical. We used to play our series season programs or other stuff we liked and that worked artistically/logistically

This is a good example of why I crave more book club style discussion media consumption or general criticism, itās very easy to miss context and interpretative details when consuming media alone. I watched it at the end of June and now itās been covered more widely since then

I think at the time I felt it was weird to have a movie celebrating kpop but using more American hip hop style for reasons I couldnāt really square but this makes a lot more sense.
dankettercello (@danielketter.com) reply parent
I watched it in the middle of the summer by myself, hadnāt read anything about it and didnāt have anyone to talk to about it, and I think I was just really surprised at the stylistic difference, which colored my experience maybe of the movie in general. I should give it another chance
dankettercello (@danielketter.com) reply parent
Thatās totally my error not understanding contemporary kpop sounds, I didnāt mean none of them sounded like the genre, I think I was most surprised at the rap flows sounding like American hip hop

From his biography, there is an argument to me the Sonata and quintet are expressions forbidden love, conflict between religious and sensual love, so itās not unthinkable

But what else did he write! I need to get to know his music better. The Sonata makes me think he must have some extraordinary art song, but Iām not familiar with any.

Had a dinner party last night for friends and three people asked me sincerely how I cooked the purple cabbage I served because they loved it. I chopped it up, put salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar on it, and roasted it for 30 mins at 425, then put vinegar on it again. Thatās it! #cabbagesky
