A displaced Californian composer writes about music made for the long while & the world around that music. ~ The avant-garde is flexibility of mind. — John Cage ~ ...composition is only a very small thing, taken as a part of music as a whole, and it really shouldn't be separated from music making in general. — Douglas Leedy ~ My God, what has sound got to do with music! — Charles Ives

Polansky's Road
Larry Polansky has a number of scores available online. Mr. P. is one of the vital figures of his generation, with an attitude, imagination, and relationship to tradition that I admire. In particular, I recommend his piano piece Lonesome Road (The Crawford Variations), a piece of music that can carry the adjective "major" without suffering a bit of embarassment.
