Crumb

Funny that Roger Bourland at Red Black Window would write about Crumb’s graphic scores at more or less the same time I was talking about score marking, including re-baring some experimentally notated 20th c. works to facilitate performance

 I’ve done a fair bit of Crumb, and, interestingly, I’ve never felt the need to add anything to his notation, and, in fact, have hardly marked his scores at all.

 Is it possible he’s just really good at this whole composition business? Better than most? Did he just think that much harder about his notation than his peers? Could it be?

Hmmm…..

I’ve found his website, and added it to the links listing on your right.

When will someone ask me to conduct Star Child??
