Apologies for the recent silence; I am still recovering from an operation on my right hand which, as you can probably imagine, put a bit of a spanner in the works with regard to playing the piano. Everything still works, though, apart from some nerve damage here and there, and I hope to start posting a little more regularly now.

On the theme of “Silence”, I’m now the proud owner of a 4′ 33″ t-shirt, which has the Edition Peters frontispiece on the front, and the “tacet” version of the score of John Cage’s mighty silent work on the back. I wore it to work, and gratifyingly nobody asked me about it.
