A Couple of New Classical Blogs
August 7th, 2007 Posted in classical music
I’m rapidly (and finally, after stagnating in the pools of bookmarking for way too long) switching over to using RSS to catch up on all the latest and greatest classical music news, gossip and discussion. What a mouthful of grammar that sentence was. Already a couple of new musical blogs have sprung up on my ever so complex and thoroughly modernized radar, and altruistic as ever, I’m just dying to share ‘em. We’ve got:
- Mathemusicality – In which James Cook analyzes music from a mathematical point of view. He already has several very interesting theoryish articles, such as the recent How to make a Chopin Prelude. As a physicist with a classical music fetish I can’t help but love a blog in which both Stoke’s theorem and Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht are mentioned in the same post.
- Classical Ear – Very chunky, information packed posts on general musical topics such as: What Newcomers Should Know Before Going to the Opera, or an impressively (and happily) un-concise Biography of Mahler.
If anyone is interested I use Google Reader for all of my RSS feed needs. For anyone who hasn’t used RSS, it basically sticks all of the new posts from your favorite blogs into one page, so you can browse through them all without having to manually go to each individual website. I already can’t remember how I managed without it!
