Let's hear it

on: March 26, 2017, 10:07:11 PM

for the accompanist! Went to an very good recital today -- french horn (Erik Ralske, principal horn of the Metropolitan Opera (New York), and beautifully played. But the accompanist (who was also excellent) wasn't even credited on the program! Fortunately I ran into her after the recital, and was able to talk with her. She was so grateful that someone had noticed... ! So if you are an accompanist, be sure that someone out there is listening to you and appreciating what you are doing!

That's pretty taboo, not listing the accompanist's name . . . as someone with advanced degrees in collaborative piano, I find it particularly offensive . . . and equally touching that you went back to greet her!
