"Mozart is boring as all get out!"

Do you agree?

Then how is it that, without a clue as to who or what "Mozart" might be, sounds I stumbled upon in my first encounter with his music at age 11 in a book of piano sonatas set the tone for an ongoing life of fascination and curiosity. Didn't anybody in the music establishment as I came across it notice or care about the possibility that there might be anything more to Mozart's music than playing the right notes on time?

And how could it be that the result of that fascination and curiosity has been collaboration with some of the finest musicians of our time: Dave Eggar, cello; and Artie Dibble, viola/violin? There is liberation in feeling sounds as they strike you, potentially differently every time, rather than letting anyone tell you in advance anything at all about them.

If you agree that Mozart is boring please get in touch with me.
