Passed it on and bought another, IIRC.
I felt that it would have been a bit churlish to return it.

Should give me something to get my teeth into next month, as I can't see myself going back to volunteer work in the local primary school.

Still plodding through Roman Vlad, so I mustn't get diverted.

He's a good writer - I have his Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory somewhere round here...

Hope you are able to get a group together to play it soon.

Originally posted by Pulcinella View PostIndeed I did; not sure if it was the delivery time or the seller (CUP specialist: Academic Bookshop, Cambridge) that prompted me to spend that extra penny, though. I wasn't expecting it till Saturday.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostMine arrived today. Pleased, so far, bar one minor niggle. My first attempt at using the index revealed an error. I wanted to check out mentions of Threni. The first given in the index is to page 28. However, that page bears no mention of Threni. Fortunately, the facing page, 29, does, towards the bottom. Careless index compilation or typo? I will not let the frown last too long.
Maybe the musical examples threw the pagination somehow after the index had been compiled.
A minor niggle though, as you say.
I'm still working through Vlad (alongside reading A suitable boy!) before I turn my attention to Straus. Vlad is pretty detailed on Threni, and I'm beginning to wonder if I really do need to know how clever the construction of the piece is before I start to like it more (which I hope I will). When I see tables in Straus headed such as 'Verticalization of rows of the rotational arrays' my head immediately starts hurting.

Study score of Stravinsky's The Flood due to arrive this morning between 10:24 and 11:24, according to an email just received.
This means that of the pieces discussed in Straus' book Stravinsky's Late Music I will have scores of most of the more substantial works:
Cantata
Septet
Canticum Sacrum
Agon
Threni
Movements
The Flood
Requiem Canticles
PS: Arrived as promised, but it's another of those scores where the staves are printed only where the instrument/voice has something to do. I find them very hard to follow.
At least transposing instruments are written in C in the score.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostJust delivered, yet another set of Prokofiev Symphonies. This time the CPO/Kosler survey from the mid to late '70s and early 80s (remastered from analogue, not early digital, thankfully). Happy to find Kosler's Scythian Suite recording of 1973.
