Losing your head
February 1st, 2010 Posted in classical music
Oh wow. This last year of graduate school is running me into the ground! Weekends have become just like every other day, except I don’t go in until noon.
I have found some time to work on updating all of the “beginners guide” stuff on this site — which is something I’ve been meaning to do for ages. I’m not doing it incrementally though, it’s all gonna change at once. While doing this I’ve discovered all kinds of little tidbits. For example, do you know the one about Haydn’s head? Apparently he was the victim of head-robbery (a dangerous and serious problem often ignored by mainstream news outlets) and didn’t get it back for about 150 years. And now he has two.
