I'm writing new, academically complete, album texts, ridiculously many, for the British Library Edition of my Complete Works [to date]. I asked, myself -what if nobody ever reads this stuff ? What the hell was it for ? My answer - to complete my expression, nothing more.

Wisdom from WB Yeats (b otd 1865):
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
“There is another world, but it is in this one.”
“What can be explained is not poetry.”

The Fibonacci sequence isn’t just a math trick—it’s everywhere in nature. From sunflower seeds to galaxies, the universe has a secret love affair with spirals.

Wow Ken -how Fab is This ?

These one-on-a-part versions are not intended to match the richness and grandeur of the original, but what they do offer is the chance to hear each part played with the passion, virtuosity and personality of a first rate soloist.

I was useless at sport. One of the nicest things about singing in a choir was that I could still contribute to a team effort, even though it wasn't on the football field. JR Good luck to the teams!

The central equation of quantum mechanics features the imaginary number i. Erwin Schrödinger considered it a major eyesore. Now, physicists have figured out how to do away with it. https://t.co/7bwRaUuDuf

Caroline Norton couldn't enter the courtroom where her own reputation was being destroyed. So she went home, picked up her husband's law books, and started reading.

His music is fine - especially Metermophosen - but wasn't he a paid up Nazi and a party member ? How do we deal with that ?

[Steven Isserlis @StevenIsserlis]

Richard Strauss b otd 1864 - such a master! "Anyone who wants to be a real musician must be able to set a menu to music." But also: "Melody as revealed in the greatest works of our classics is one of the most noble gifts which an invisible deity has bestowed on mankind."

[Steven Isserlis @StevenIsserlis]

Wonderful, loveable composer/conductor/supporter of other composers Oliver Knussen b otd 1952. Making himself clear about self-expression in music (!):
"I hate the idea of somebody sitting down and thinking... 'My cat’s just died. I’m going to write a Requiem Mass for the cat.'"
