Mahlerian

Gee, much of the crowd here looks familiar.  Surprisingly, the thing that really forced me to join up here is that I actually lost my password for the other site.  It was on a hard drive that went bust with no backups.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know me, I'm an all-around music lover who has a particular passion for music from roughly 1850-1950, especially German and Viennese music, but also Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Janacek, and so forth.  Outside of that, I love Bach, Mozart, Takemitsu, Messiaen, Monteverdi, Beethoven, and lots of others.

I'm looking forward to seeing how things turn out here in a new community.

Hello, Mahlerian -- I have a funny feeling we might, just might, share a love of a certain composer.  ;D

In any case, welcome and enjoy.

Hi Mahlerian (are you really THAT Mahlerian??).
I'm very happy to see you here. Welcome!  :)

Quite strange to see newbie beside your name...

Hello n00b ;D First I thought something else had been done to your account. It's good, in a way at least, that it was just you losing your password...

Well, that wasn't the only thing that happened, but I'm much more willing to leave everything about that site in the past.  No reason to get into it here.

Hi guy. Try to stay out of trouble for awhile, OK? I'm only good for that kind of excitement every couple years or so. Guide on mild mannered Le Monsieur Cloche.

:D
Salud e dinero... Hah! So that's what is missing.

I am naturally sceptical if it is the real Mahlerian or not.
I am openly Xenakiboy, I left TC shortly after you left. Tell me something only the real Mahlerian would know?

When I sent my variation to you for the TC variations project, you told me that you couldn't accept a file in Sibelius format.

That variation, incidentally, was written in my favorite(?) key of B minor and was based on a very slowed-down version of the theme you wrote.  I have the original .sib file on my computer right now.

Happy, I hope?

My younger brother told me a great story about one time he was dragged to a medium whom some members of the family wanted to get in spiritual with a departed great-aunt.  My cheekily clever brother asked the "spirit," what is your middle name?

Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Welcome, Mahlerian, from another old noobie :-)

arpeggio

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mahlerian is a good guy.

Our orchestra performed a great transcription he did of the Schoenberg Sechs Kleine Klavierstucke.

I think there is a YouTube of the McLean Symphony performing it.  Unfortunately  it is not a very good recording.  We sounded better in the live performance.

There were many in the audience who said it was their favorite work on the program.

I joined this site today, and who follows me next? Mahlerian!

I wasn't as active elsewhere but I sure learnt a lot from your insightful posts.

So glad to see you here Mahlerian!!!! I feel at peace knowing that you aren't being brutally tortured in a hidden room inside an organ in Denmark!!! ;D

Quite similar taste Mirror Image it seems (although I don't he has analysed/studied this music in the great depth that you have). He says he will be back towards the end of this year or the start of the next........I would find conversations between you and him about this repertoire so interesting. 8)

Not only am I not a moderator anymore, I don't have anything against you in the first place!  Great to see you again.
