I Haven't Practiced in a Month. Here's How I'm Coming Back

After almost a month of packing, moving, unpacking, and barely touching the bass, I'm finally back in the studio, and my chops definitely aren't where I need them.With a weekend at Birdland with Steve Smith and Vital Information coming up, it would be very easy to panic and spend every available minute working on the music for the gig.Instead, I'm trying something different.I've been going back to classical music (Brahms in particular) and experimenting with arranging music I love for solo electric bass. Rather than immediately putting pressure on myself to be "gig ready," I'm using completely unrelated music to reconnect with the instrument, rebuild the mechanics of my playing, and get my ears and imagination working again.Make sure you're signed up to this substack newsletter so you get every podcast episode, all the news about new music recordings, and all the lessons and behind the scenes information I share from my little world of bass and music. In this episode, I work through part of Brahms' Poco Allegretto from Symphony No. 3 and start asking some of the questions that might eventually shape an entire solo classical bass album.How much of the original harmony should I keep?Should I reharmonize it?Do I play the melodies completely solo, or use loops?Should there be improvisation?Could classical repertoire live alongside original music and more ambient, experimental sounds?And how far can I push the orchestration when I'm trying to make all of this work on a five-string electric bass tuned E–C?We also get into one of the harmonic exercises I've been using to get my hands moving again: taking V–I resolutions and breaking triadic ideas into groups of five using 2+3 and 3+2 patterns. It's a simple concept that opens up a huge amount of melodic and rhythmic material. You can find it in my book From Practice to PerformanceThis episode ended up becoming a pretty accurate snapshot of where my musical brain is right now. I start with Brahms, move into dominant harmony, disappear into ambient sounds and effects, and somehow end up seriously thinking about what a solo classical electric bass record could become.There's also a little history behind all of this. Before bass became my instrument, I was heavily involved in classical guitar, working through the UK grade system to Grade 8 and playing solo classical guitar and in ensembles. A lot of the chordal and right-hand techniques I use on bass today actually come directly from that period of my life.I'd love your input on where I take it.If I make a solo classical electric bass album, would you want the visual side to be an important part of the project — filmed performances in a beautiful space — or would you rather put on headphones, close your eyes, and experience it purely as a record?Let me know in the comments.Also in this episode: the new studio is slowly coming together, the blue couch has returned, the new transcription book is finally in stock, and I found a photograph from my first semester at Berklee in 1998 featuring a fellow bass player you might recognize...More soon, JanekThe Complete Bass Mastery eBook Course Get full access to Janek's Newsletter at janekgwizdala.substack.com/subscribe

Robert Knöll ist Kunsthistoriker und Bilderrahmer. In seinem Atelier, das die grösste Sammlung barocker Bilderrahmen beherbergt, setzt er Kunstwerke gekonnt in Szene. Kunstsammler, Museen und Galerien vertrauen ihm, wenn es darum geht, berühmte Werke in den passenden Rahmen zu setzen. Ein Handwerk, das in seiner Familie eine lange Tradition hat: Schon sein Vater war ein leidenschaftlicher Sammler und Bilderrahmer. Nach dessen Tod übernahm Robert Knöll den Familienbetrieb, doch für ihn war dieser Schritt weit mehr als nur berufliche Verantwortung – er war eine Bestimmung. «Die Beschäftigung mit Bilderrahmen ist nicht nur mein Beruf, es ist meine Passion», sagt Robert Knöll, und es ist spürbar, dass diese Leidenschaft weit über den Arbeitsalltag hinausgeht. In seinen Träumen erscheinen Bilderrahmen, die ihn in seiner Freizeit genauso begleiten wie im Beruf. Wenn es darum geht, ein berühmtes Kunstwerk neu zu rahmen, reist er zu Museen in ganz Europa, um die perfekte Wahl zu treffen. Es fasziniert ihn immer wieder, wie die Wirkung eines Bildes sich verändert, je nachdem, wie es gerahmt wird. Bereits als Kind war Robert Knöll von Archäologie begeistert – der Blick hinter die oberste Schicht, das Entdecken von Geschichte und Kultur. Diese Faszination für Details und den Kontext von Kunstwerken zieht sich durch sein gesamtes Leben und wirkt sich auf seine Arbeit aus. In «Musik für einen Gast» bei Eva Oertle spricht Robert Knöll über seine Faszination für alte Rahmen und erklärt, warum sie oft im Schatten der eigentlichen Kunstwerke stehen. Er erzählt von einem besonderen Stück aus seiner Kindheit – einem echten Donatello, der über seinem Bett hing und heute einen Platz in einem Museum hat. Und er spricht über seine Liebe zum Cello und der Musik von Brahms. Die Musiktitel: - Johannes Brahms: 1. Satz aus Cellosonate Nr. 1 e-Moll (Pieter Wispelwey, Violoncello; Dejan Lazić, Klavier) - Talking Heads: Sugar on My Tongue - Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccata und Fuge für Orgel d-Moll, BWV 565 (Hannes Kästner, Orgel) - Georg Riedel: Seeräuber-Opa Fabian, aus Pippi Langstrumpf (Eva Mattes, Kinderstimme) - Franz Schubert: 7.

It took a lot to make the composer and critic Virgil Thomson happy. He was famous for savaging new works he didn't like, and the truth is, he didn't like very many new works at all. One exception was Bohuslav Martinů's very first symphony, written in 1942. Thomson said this: "The Martinů Symphony is a beaut. It is wholly lovely and doesn't sound like anything else." The story of how this symphony came to be is as fascinating as the music itself, and it's perfectly in keeping with the relentless curiosity of Martinů as a composer. Martinů, a prolific composer who wrote nearly 400 works, had just arrived in the US in 1941 as a refugee from war-torn Czechoslovakia. He was 51 years old and had never written a symphony before. This delay wasn't a case of crushing self-doubt, as it was for Brahms. It was actually a seeming lack of interest in the symphonic genre, which was not unusual at the time. But in 1942, Martinů sent a letter to Serge Koussevitzky, the music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a friend to the dozens of refugee composers who had arrived from Europe during the early days of World War II. Koussevitzky commissioned Martinů to write a large-scale work, and Martinů responded with his First Symphony -- a perfect welcome to his new home, and to the grand adventure he was setting off on in a country he found intimidating, exciting, and full of opportunity. The result is a piece of remarkable contrast, energy, light, and boisterous hope, given the situation back in his homeland. As the sponsor of this episode, Pere Casan Bonet, put it, the symphony is "a pool of energy that makes me feel optimistic even at my lowest points." We'll start today with a quick overview of Martinů's life and work, since he might not be the most familiar composer to you, and then we'll talk our way through this incredible First Symphony. Martinů has always been one of my favorite "underrated" composers, so it's a thrill to get to talk to you about him today. Join us!

Today, July 17, 2026, is the one-hundred-and-twelfth birthday of Eleanor Steber, in the opinion of many, the finest American soprano that ever lived. Her combination of technical prowess, (which allowed her to blend vocal power with seamless coloratura facility), faultless diction, vocal beauty, musical versatility, and complete and utter sincerity of expression, were combined in one exquisite artistic entity who now is fully acknowledged and appreciated for the great artist that she was. Since I have already done numerous (nearly countless) episodes on this paragon, today I have chosen to take a slightly different approach: I am focusing on performances from the earliest years of her career. I have divided my setlist into several sections: first, a pair of stunningly-vocalized opera arias; then favorites from operettas and musicals; followed by a group of powerful performances of oratorio arias of Brahms, Bach, Mendelssohn, Haydn, and Rossini; concluding with light classical favorites such as would have been heard in her radio and television appearances on The Voice of Firestone. In keeping with the best Countermelody tradition, many of today's selections are quite rare; all of them will provide my listeners with a satisfaction that can only come from a vocalist of the very highest skilll and achievement. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Pride 2026 at Countermelody continues with an episode devoted to the towering German mezzo-soprano Brigitte Fassbaender, not only one of the great opera stars of the late twentieth century (her Octavian, for instance, was, is, and remains, hors concours), but also one of the greatest Lieder singers of all time. Today I choose to focus on her performance of the songs of Johannes Brahms, whose music is ideally suited to her dark-timbred, urgently projected voice and artistry. She's heard in these selections with four of the primary pianists with whom she collaborated and recorded in the songs of Brahms: Erik Werba, Irwin Gage, Karl Engel, and the great Georgian pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, with whom she made her final recordings and performances in the early 1990s, just before her sudden departure from the opera and concert stage. I read a portion of her memoirs (translated into English) in which she candidly discusses the reasons for that choice. Fassbaender has always lived her life openly and matter-of-factly, never foregrounding her sexuality while also never denying or hiding it. For her, music and the theater have always been the focal points in her public life, and her unique artistry has placed her at the forefront of the great musical artists of our time. There are few vocal artists I esteem as highly. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

Aujourd'hui dans "Esprits Libres", David Abiker reçoit Géraldine Woessner, rédactrice en chef au Point, et Jean-Marie Colombani, fondateur du site Slate.fr. Ensemble, ils analysent l'impact potentiel de l'intelligence artificielle sur la prochaine élection présidentielle française.Selon Géraldine Woessner, l'IA sera au cœur des débats de la campagne électorale, car elle représente à la fois un outil de communication pour les candidats et une source d'inquiétudes pour les électeurs. Elle souligne que la France a tendance à transformer les révolutions technologiques en débats moraux, ce qui risque de rendre le sujet omniprésent mais superficiel. Jean-Marie Colombani abonde dans ce sens, estimant que l'IA jouera un rôle important dans la façon dont les Français se détermineront dans les urnes, notamment à cause de la menace des ingérences étrangères rendues possibles par cette technologie. Il met en garde contre le risque que les candidats instrumentalisent les peurs liées à l'IA à des fins électoralistes.Les deux invités évoquent également l'utilisation croissante des chatbots d'IA par le grand public pour s'informer et se forger une opinion, soulignant les bénéfices en termes de gain de temps mais aussi les dangers liés au manque d'esprit critique face à ces outils.Au-delà du débat sur les usages de l'IA, les intervenants abordent la question épineuse des négociations avec la Russie pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine. Ils s'accordent pour dire que les conditions ne sont pas encore réunies pour entamer des pourparlers, Poutine étant encore sur des positions maximalistes. Géraldine Woessner insiste sur l'importance de renforcer l'aide militaire à l'Ukraine afin de la placer en position de force pour négocier.Enfin, l'épisode se termine sur une note plus légère, avec une évocation d'un match de football opposant le PSG à Arsenal, accompagné d'une danse hongroise de Brahms.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast

Thank you to Jerry for sponsoring today's episode on Patreon! Goethe's Faust is considered to be the greatest work of German literature. This sprawling, 2-part play occupied Goethe's life for nearly 60 years, from its original version, begun in 1772, all the way to Goethe's final revisions before his death. It inspired just about every Romantic era composer who came after it, including Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Berlioz, Gounod, Mahler, and our subject for the show today, Franz Liszt. Liszt, who was in many ways the world's first pop star, was initially skeptical of Faust, saying that he couldn't relate to the eponymous main character of the play. He wrote: "Faust's personality scatters and dissipates itself; he takes no action, lets himself be driven, hesitates, experiments, loses his way, considers, bargains, and is interested in his own little happiness." But slowly, Liszt began to be taken in by this remarkable play and decided to try his hand at a reflection on it, writing a massive, 3-movement, 75-minute-long symphony that never attempts to tell the story of Faust, but instead reflects on the psychological nature of the 3 central characters: Faust, Gretchen, and Mephistopheles (the Devil). A lot of English-speaking listeners will know this as the story of a man who sold his soul to the devil, but for Goethe it was much more than that, and it was for Liszt as well. I've never talked about Liszt on the show, because frankly I've never been in love with his music. But this is one of the great things that these Patreon-sponsored episodes can do — help me discover pieces that I've never come across before. So today, we're going to talk about Liszt, Faust, and then take a stab at some of the greatest moments in this symphony. We'll talk about thematic transformation, a technique Liszt essentially invented and which is a vital part of understanding this piece.

Send us Fan MailWhy Is Bach Called the Father of Classical Music?Why is Johann Sebastian Bach often referred to as the “Father of Classical Music”?In this episode of The Classical Music Minute, we explore the lasting influence of one of history's greatest composers. Although Bach lived during the Baroque period, his work laid the foundation for much of the music that followed.Renowned for his mastery of counterpoint, Bach demonstrated how multiple independent musical lines could work together in harmony. His compositions, including The Well-Tempered Clavier and The Art of Fugue, are still studied today for their structural brilliance and expressive depth.Later composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms learned from Bach's techniques, helping to carry his influence into the Classical and Romantic eras.In just sixty seconds, discover why Bach's music continues to shape the sound of classical music centuries later.Fun FactBach's music was largely forgotten after his death in 1750 until it was revived decades later—most notably when Felix Mendelssohn conducted a famous performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829, sparking renewed interest in his work.About The Classical Music MinuteThe Classical Music Minute is a short podcast exploring fascinating stories, quirky history, and surprising facts from the world of classical music—all in about sixty seconds.Each episode offers a quick and entertaining glimpse into composers, masterpieces, musical traditions, and the curious moments that shaped music history.You can also read the written versions of these episodes on Substack, where they're published as short articles delivered directly to subscribers.About Steven, HostSteven Hobé is a Canadian composer and actor based in Toronto and a member of the Canadian League of Composers.

The great and somewhat controversial conductor Leopold Stokowski said this about Tchaikovsky: "His musical utterance comes directly from the heart and is a spontaneous expression of his innermost feeling. It is as sincere as if it were written with his blood." I couldn't agree more with Stokowski, because I think he hits on a word that has made Tchaikovsky's music so powerful to almost every audience that encounters it: sincere. Tchaikovsky's music is so profoundly moving because you feel as if there is no gap between the music and Tchaikovsky's emotions. It's as if he is earnestly speaking to you through his music. But paradoxically, this ability that Tchaikovsky had made him a punching bag of critics and cynics throughout his career and even into today. Even though Tchaikovsky remains one of the most popular composers in the Western Classical canon, his name is still not treated with the respect of a composer like Beethoven or Brahms or other luminaries. I understand that, but I also think Tchaikovsky's skills as a composer are extremely underrated, which brings me to Tchaikovsky's 6th and final symphony, nicknamed the "Pathetique." Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony essentially rewrites the traditional symphonic form. It is one of the few 19th century symphonies that end quietly, and that ending is one of the most extraordinary and daring in the entire repertoire. It is a piece of remarkable complexity and brilliant construction, and it packs an emotional wallop that leaves you walking out of the hall slightly changed from the way you walked in. In fact, this piece is so multi-layered that I wanted to devote some extra time to it, so I've decided to make this a two-part episode. This week, we're going to talk about the controversies over Tchaikovsky's emotional state as he composed this symphony, and the first two movements of the piece: a massive, 17-minute first movement that ingeniously melds multiple different symphonic forms into one long breath, and a waltz with a twist. We'll get into a lot more detail than we usually do, giving us a chance to really give Tchaikovsky the respect he deserves.

Brahms spent much of his adult life battling with his ambition to write the next great symphony and his terror at the shadow of Beethoven standing behind him. Brahms tortured himself for 14 years with his first symphony, and only published it when he was 49 years old. But when that symphony finally came out, it was a relative success for a new work, and with immense relief, Brahms quickly turned out another symphony in just 4 months.  Brahms' first symphony was quickly dubbed "Beethoven's 10th" something that annoyed Brahms to no end.  When told that the main theme of the last movement  resembled the Ode to Joy,  he notoriously responded, "any ass can see that!"  But all the same, Brahms had been re-anointed as Beethoven's successor with the symphony, and so therefore his second symphony would also be given a Beethovinian name, Pastoral.  The question since the symphony has been written has been this: just how pastoral and idyllic is this symphony? Many commentators see an unadulterated joy and gentleness in the piece, with some melancholy moments to be sure.  But overall, the piece is as sunny as it seems on its surface, with just the typical battles between happiness and sadness that mark every symphony. But there's another school fo thought with this symphony, and that is that it is marked by shadows and tremors that go way beyond simple sadness and happiness, and that these shadows and tremors leave a mark that can't be ignored.  I tend to believe in the second theory, but we're going to discuss this symphony with this framework in mind; whether this piece is as sunny as some people would have you believe, or if the shadows are the lasting impression we get as we walk away from the concert hall. We'll also discuss Brahms' innovations with form, and his evergreen ability to write some of the most stunning melodies on the planet. Join us!
