You can like the wind, but the wind can't like you.

Your piano thing was nicely mathematical.

The illustration under it is detail from a larger 4 x 8 matrix of charts used to compose the second piano piece. It's rare I that allow anyone a glimpse into the depths of my nerdiness.

If you mean for 20th C. Classical at large, that's a huge question. I don't even have that much music that post-dates the '60s, so I may not be the best authority.

Right now, the CD closest to me is Pollini paying Schoenberg's complete piano works-- excellent, excellent, excellent. An even closer approximation to what I was aiming for in my own piece is early, "miniaturist" Webern. You can get Webern's complete opus-numbered works on a 3 CD set-- I have the set conducted by Boulez. Webern's only solo piano piece- the IMO overrated "Piano Variations"- came late in his career, however, and I think Schoenberg in general had a much better sense of writing idiomatically for the instrument.

This website has a HUGE archive of avant-garde classical recording, much of it doubtlessly out-of-print:

There are also a few good blogs for 20th C. music out there. Try this one:

Tumblr w/out boobs seems like a waste of tumblr.

I have a Tumblr. What does "allowing replies" do? For instance, I've had people tell me they've tried to 'heart' my stuff, but can't. Do I need to allow replies? I don't know the internet.

Tumblr is good for porn and that's about it.

Yours seems to have, uh, evolved.
