    ... actually I am proposing my rendition of the 'Gothic' transcribed for clavichord duet.

    Should work well in the RAH.

        Not toy pianos with sampled voices, then...

          It's a shame that passion and enthusiasm for neglected composers is so ridiculed around here...

            What do you mean? Some of us ARE neglected composers.

              Duet? You mean that you felt that it needed TWO of these instruments? Look, if Liszt's magnificent sonata can be transcribed for solo violin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnyJsHEZKfU - or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d7K6JRHFr8 ), why not the Gothic on a single clavichord?...

                    A cycle of Robert Simpson Symphonies?

                      What? AGAIN? Please have mercy!

                      A Simpson cycle would be wonderful, but I doubt it very much. Might get some Simpson in 2021 for his 100th Birthday.

                        Indeed. Someone had better book Clare Hammond for that, then (although I'm not sure of her experience as claveciniste)...

                          I remember when his Fifth Symphony was performed at the Proms years ago and the announcer afterwards sought to cover the obvious applause by opining that there must be a lot of members of the Robert Simpson Society in the audience; I'm not aware that the author of The Proms and Natural Justice ever sued the BBC over that, but I'd not have thought to blame him had he does so...

                            Surely there would indeed have been many members of such a society in the audience that night, though I do take your point.

                              Both of them for sure.

                                I'm looking forward to the Pauline Oliveros day
                                and the late night Trevor Wishart

                                The all night La Monte Young gig sounds good n'all
                                as does the Éliane Radigue commission

                                (one can always hope )
