I am going to rewrite these pages as soon as I am off the powerful drugs with debilitating side effects, which will be at the end of September. Then I will know what 'normal' is like and be able to plan things and get back to being able to play complex music. I will get a picture of me playing something, instead of reading the newspaper. Original composition is only going steadily but at least still going. I am still editing loads of music, and in actual fact there is much more demand for editing dead composers music than for new music..... Draw your own conclusions.
I have had a first performance in the USA this year, the 3rd movement of my Viola Concerto, given by Shawn Snider with the South Shore Symphony Orchestra, in South West Florida on March 27th. My Violin and Viola Duo is being played at the concerts for the homeless in Boston, Massachusetts. (I have also performed early music in Boston, Lincolnshire.....) Lots of my recent editions of dead composer's music are being used all over the world.
Most of my music is available in practical performing form either on IMSLP, the Werner Icking Site, the guitar music on the Delcamp site, and other music elsewhere. I decided I would avoid the worry of staying up all night planning how I would spend my annual 100 pounds of royalties by giving everything away. I am not a good example for young composers trying to make a living, though I would recommend giving one or two of your most practical pieces away so that people actually play your music!
