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!
