Any fans?  I plan to buy the CDs and the scores of the older stuff tonight.  Is the score for the etudes seems not to be available for purchase yet. https://www.chesternovello.com/Default.aspx?TabId=2432&State_3041=2&workId_3041=35558

Mr. Glass is coming to University of Maryland in July.

I bought the etudes and they are really disappointing, if you would like, i will email them to you.

Thanks, but no thanks.  These works are very much copyrighted.  unless you are willing to part with your copy (in which case first sale probably makes it OK) I would say you cannot just email me a copy.   

Thanks, though.  Why were you disappointed.  Do you like other Glass pieces and just not these ones?  I listened to the samples and are precisely what I expected and wanted.

I listened to several samples as well on iTunes before I made my purchase.  I found that the whole piece was  nothing more than the 30 seconds I sampled.

In fact, I wouldn't mind parting with my own copy at all.

I like the Etudes. I bought them all off itunes for basically free because I had bunch of free songs from pepsi bottles. Man, I wish they'd do that again.
I transcribed Etude No. 1 but I guess I can't share the score since it's copyrighted & everything. But that's also fun to play. The most interesting thing about Glass' own recordings are that they prove how flexible the performer is allowed to be with the tempo. People think of Glass music as really metronomical, but that really applies better to the ensemble or larger works simply for the sake of togetherness. Listen to any solo/small group piece of his and you'll notice the more Romantic ideas in them (Glass incidentally thinks his music is closer to Romantic idea than the term 'minimalist.')

I play a few pieces of his. They're really fun. I also made a little graph of the form of Mad Rush for my Audition Room recording of it.
