| One of my friends at college is writing a brass quintet for me. Hopefully I can persuade him to do some solo stuff for me too when he has time (they work the composition guys so hard here!)
I think it's pretty exciting to be the first person to play any piece of music, and I think you get more involved creatively than you might if you were playing a piece that has been around for hundreds of years and been played by thousands and thousands of people.
Oh by the way, Peter Maxwell Davies was a composition student here too, back in the day! |
