Also based on my clarinetist past I cannot accept that “Mozart” as Mozart there are simply not enough arpeggios

Salonen kept it so unusually focused and tight but this piece is still so banal IMO

I’m here with my seminar, the seminar is about Vienna in 1913 but this is the closest we could get to relevance this semester

Program for Philadelphia Orchestra Bruckner concert

I cannot overstate the extent to which I am at a Bruckner concert

There’s a guy at the Bruckner concert wearing an Oasis 2025 tour shirt

Steak 48, a restaurant built solely for people who think they’re important enough to double park on Broad Street

My sonata form lecture leans heavily on an extended Law & Order metaphor and it works less and less every year

Today I experienced, for the first time ever, genuinely helpful advice from a Best Buy employee. A miracle. Terrell in South Philly, I’m writing you a Google review.

trying out a theory in which courses on German music can be put into three categories based on which Marx you encounter most frequently: A.B., Joseph, or Karl (Groucho not really an option, sorry)

The disorder of a scholar's study reigns over the work's ideas—everything is tumbled together so only the master of the house can grope his way around as necessary.

I read this comment by Max Kalbeck about Bruckner and then looked at my messy desk with some despair

born March 1, 1886 died February 22, 1980

insane lifespan. born around the invention of the car, lived to see Diff'rent Strokes

(OK I don't know if Oskar Kokoschka ever watched Diff'rent Strokes but the point is that he could have)

I once had a clarinet MM student with the last name Reed, not a stage name, though

Leoš Janáček

he’s got some notes (in multiple senses)

nah, the real classical music move is to call it String Quartet No 2 and drop something in a letter to keep the musicologists busy a century later

Worked for me

Season of only different versions of Bruckner 4

They’re calling it The Four Season

These suburbs have very cute walkable downtowns but there’s seemingly no concept that you’d ever walk there from your house

I was in a wealthy Main Line suburb earlier today and in the residential neighborhood there was no sidewalk or even shoulder, walking was quite dangerous

I did an absolutely flawless parallel parking job on my block and no one was watching 😭

Never thought I’d be glad to have lived through a mumps outbreak in Arkansas but my MMR vaccine is up to date and here we are

also to get paid less to do lots more work

"free from the strictures of tenure"

what??

Me on the subway to South Philly an hour ago

This roundtable session will make space to consider what it means to be “anti-AI” in a world where generative AI tools are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Come share your own anti-AI stances and beliefs and discuss how they have played out in the classroom. Together, we will explore some prominent anti-AI strands of thought in popular discourse, journalism, and scholarship that support a position against the use of AI in education, then consider how these views may be marshaled to communicate your stance to students. We will conclude by considering some strategies for communicating your anti-AI stance in a way that leans less on deterrence and more on affirming student voices, embracing imperfection, and foregrounding the importance of struggle to the learning process. All Temple instructors and staff are welcome!
