Play a tone for so long until you hear its individual vibrations hold the tone and listen to the tones of the others -to all of them together, not to individual ones- and slowly move your tone until you arrive at complete harmony and the whole sound turns to gold to pure, gently shimmering fire

Bernstein conducts Mahler
double chromatic harp (c. 1895) made by henry greenway (1833-1903) in brooklyn.
little is known about greenway, other than that he was a civil war veteran turned piano repairman and instrument-maker. only two harps by greenway survive. this one would have been difficult to play, with glissandi in any key other than c major completely impossible.

āI graduated from Juilliard recently, and just earned a trial with the London Symphony.ā āWas there ever a time when you wanted to quit?ā āIt was harder when I was younger, and all my friends were outside playing. Back then my Mom really kept me practicing. But then I hit a point where I began to love the instrument, and I really couldnāt imagine my life without it.ā āHow did you know when you reached that point?ā āI guess it was the point where Iād learned enough that I realized how much more there was to learn.ā
Happy New Year! Hope itās filled with lots to learn.
