I’m trying to post at least once a day for my own benefit (I’d like to get used to writing again–more as a way to develop how I organize thoughts on the page than for anything else).

But back to the Solo cello recital issue, here are the current definite picks and picks that are in the immediate queue for inclusion on a program.

Definite picks:
Narong Prangcharoen’s “Far from Home”
Jeff Harrington’s “The Empty Fist”
Jacob Gotlib’s as yet to be named [and composed] piece for cello and electronics
Jeffrey Radcliffe’s “Postbactum”
Jon Silpayamanant as yet to be determined (probably one of my “Improvisation” scores)

in the queue:
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz’s “Windows on the Moon”
Michael Gordon’s “Industry”
Chinary Ung’s “Khse Buon”
Ahmed Adnan Saygun’s “Partita”
Toshiro Mayuzumi’s “Bunraku”
Cassadó suite
Kodály solo sonata

Obviously, the very recently composed works are at the top of my list–and I’m really tempted to drop doing the Kodály and Cassadó altogether as there’s no lack of cellists performing those works. Any thoughts, comments, and/or suggestions (not just from the repertoire listed above) are very welcome.

They just happen to be over at my facebook page (you’ll probably need to be logged in to view my profile).

I’ve basically imported this blog via the feed into the facebook notes so as I post here, eventually my facebook wall will post it there. From now on, I will try to post the link to any discussions at the other location (e.g. discussions there will get posted in the post–either as an edit or just a comment with link).

Maybe I’ll get really organized and make sure to post the facebook note link here whenever facebook posts my entries.

Oh, and for facebook folks, my blog URL is: http://blog.silpayamanant.com

Anyway, my previous post on Microtones had some discussion for anyone interested.
