I will just list 2 for each categories haha. On music theory I love “Harmony and Voice Leading” by Aldwell very much! “Introduction to Post tonal theory” by Straus is great too. On Form I love “The Classical form” by Caplin, “Sonata Theory” by Hepokoski, On counterpoint Kennan’s is an essential read and I also like Jepessen’s book on 16th century counterpoint! For music history Taruskin’s history is so great, but I have only read the first two volumes and have the other 3 still in my cupboard…… Henry

Hello everyone, I was really busy the past few weeks so only now I'm able to show you my new project. Estampas_de_España.pdf https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xnciHniD_iW3uBUrxphiy_p4QF9xaSEe?usp=drive_link (The same PDF just in case) Basically, I'm organizing a cultural project where composers from all around the globe put piano music to a selection of paintings. The best pieces will be included in a collaborative set that will be performed in the future (up to 16 pieces for the official collaborative album). The best composition will receive a 500 euros prize, the second best work will receive 200 euros prize, I will offer a few 30 euros rewards to other great pieces (up to 3 extra rewards). I hope many people will participate, see you soon! Don't forget to send me your painting choices so I can organize better (to my email ivanmusic1791@gmail.com). Here you have the drive with the paintings: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rR-lpQH18sTy6qRqH2_QcR7DIMd4Z0Y8?usp=drive_link If you have any doubts contact me over email! But I will be able to reply here for a few days, but I might not check it as often.

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Don’t forget scriabin’s mysterium, that would be an interesting work to listen to but sadly it never got finished. @Aw Ke Shen I didn’t know that story, it is quite beautiful and emotive.

I never care how the composers die since what matters most is how they leave their masterpieces to us! I only mourn that Bach didn't finish his Die Kunst Der Fuge, Mozart his Requiem, Beethoven his chant like works, Mahler his 10th...... For me the best composer's death would be to know that you have written great masterpieces and render yourself strive for that and utilize all of your potential.... Then you will have no regret to leave the world since yoi have fulfill your essence as a human being and composer, and this for me would be the best death for a composer! Henry

Noted Thanks!
