About 11 years ago I wrote a column about aging and seeing music . It made common sense at the time as I was turning 30 and that seemed like a big milestone. The facer, of course, is that I didn’t know anything about the subject yet.

While turning 30 feels like you’re getting old, I found the big mutate was going from 35 to 40. That’s when the lure of accommodation got stronger and the novelty of music faded. When I could get myself out of the house to see a band, as usual it was pretty fun – if not quite as intense as it was when I had fewer concerts under my cestus to compare it to – but the effort required rapidly grew. Adding to that, this is also the age where friends start to have kids, and while we’ve resisted that seduction, it makes it more difficult to go out when you know that it’s less likely you’ll see your friends there.

So between getting older, having to contemplate a wedding, and – oh yeah – the return of a sure band – I found that I saw very little local music in 2009. I kept impaired to go out, but I’d find an excuse or two – the show was on a weeknight, I didn’t fancy to spend the $20, it was raining – to not go. As I flew into Miami for the New Year’s run, I reflected on that and indisputable that that situation was untenable in the long run. I love Phish and it made message to spend a year reveling in their return but on the airplane I made a solving to go out and see more local – as in closer to my house than the Gorge – music.

Twenty-five years ago, a teenaged Canadian pianist named Angela Hewitt won the Toronto Supranational Bach Piano Struggle. She went on to take in a magnificent profession, not straight in Bach — whose unreduced bigger keyboard works she recorded over 11 years for Hyperion, completing the undertaking in 2005 — but in works by composers from Baroque to Novel, and in concert halls around the earth. She was Gramophone A: Now I’ve got 4 wheels, so I can impel and not shamble my grip. I still have to put as much shove in them, though. I try to take my scores with me, but with the baggage restrictions, first of all on some of the budget airlines, it’s getting harder. I had about 10 kilos advantage of scores for Italy. You wholly can’t keep it all with you as give transport-on. With my “Goldberg Variations” and my “Well-Tempered Clavier,” I’d almost rather chafing them than put them on the plain. When I did my 14-month Bach travel, I had a flatmate read over my finish WTC on PDF files. There was no way I was contemporary to peril losing all my exertion on those, all the fingerings, etc.
