Jeremy, thank you for all you are, and write, and do.
The links to your Fauré performances at Wigmore are marked private. Did you intend this?
I would like to suggest an idea about Substack. I’m an elder feminist queerdo, and can't be a professional violinist any more because disability took that away from me around 2017. (At least I was in my late 50s and had had a wonderful career by then.) I have just enough money to get by: a disability check and a musician's union pension. I have offered to other Substack bloggers the idea of an option for working subscribers to pay a little extra, so that folks in my financial straits might be able to subscribe to premium content. The idea seems equitable and I wanted to share it.
I’m enjoying your book very much. Piano was my first instrument, and you've helped me remember a lot of my "piano origins." Instead of Dohnányi, my teacher gave me the Brahms exercises, which at least bore a resemblance to music. Ceiling Cat bless her for that!
Great to read your work again (after the book), thank you. We need music, art, and good writing more than ever now and over the next couple of years.
