Like Snopes for classical music.

Grateful for the chance to be interviewed by @seatedovation before I leave the stage: https://t.co/CY2zIV7P7F

Between this and @JoshuaKosman 's tribute yesterday, I'm floating on air this morning!

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

An interviewer asked me which blog post I wrote was my favorite, and I couldn't answer on the spot. But with some time to think, I'd have to say it's this one: https://t.co/7xF7qKNa7z

I'm not dead yet!...but I can't go on forever. I treasure this tribute from @JoshuaKosman. Thank you!

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

Okay, exiting the stage... I really am... Just one more thing...

@imanimosley Congratulations and well-deserved!

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

@MusicoloJake Sorry, who WILL have to write entire chapters. (So many interruptions! I need rest soon.)

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

@MusicoloJake But it's finally hitting me that i'm going to have to propose authors who are NOT me to write whole, possibly multiple, chapters. Though I'm trying to rest now, SOON I'll update my table of contents with more detailed info and propose an author or two!

This comic fits so well with the mission of my blog, I want to share it! It's about the neurological response to having a belief challenged:

(For those wondering about my book, it's coming along. I'm working at a steady pace, writing a bit every day.)

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

The chapter I'm currently writing is an expansion of this post: https://t.co/6sm4vq3wEM
I even gave a reading list in there. Thanks, past me!

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

Thank you! That sounds like an apt pairing; I hope it led to a useful discussion.

"The world of classical music is neither noble nor fair, though its reputation says otherwise."

As someone writing about classical music culture's reality falling short of its lofty reputation, I appreciate @mcmansionhell's excellent, candid essay about her life as a musician.

“The fact that different moral rules apply to geniuses and stars is at the root of many problems in classical music.”—Laura Eisen

THIS is what I warned about in my article, "TimesUp for musical gods." This time the Genius is Barenboim, and it's not sexual, but physical assault.

[VAN Magazine @vanmusicmag]

Exclusive: Daniel Barenboim’s former orchestra manager accuses him of physically attacking her - and the management of the Staatsoper Berlin of not taking her complaint seriously. https://t.co/7JeHQuGqP1

Genuine footage of me rewriting a passage of the intro to Riotous Rites (working title). #Whisperfeed @ClemsonUP

@CrossEyedPiano Doesn't he just, though? There are a few pictures where they seem luminescent. My son also has bright blue eyes, and many people have commented on that. MANY.

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

(And this!)

[MusicHistoryClichés @MusHistCliches]

@CrossEyedPiano Thank you! I usually tag pictures of him as #whisperfeed. I didn't tag this image because it's already tagged in another Tweet. Whisper is a sweet, friendly cat—a stray who literally followed my husband home one night. The kitten was obviously starving. Who could resist helping?

Update: My forthcoming blog-based book has a contract!
Also in this post: A peek into my writing process at this point.
