It was delightful to successfully search for you today in Greenwich, but I confess that I am still missing you in this place.

Hi Jeremy-
I thought you and your readers might enjoy this youtube video of a “piano” staircase in Stockholm.

I was so sorry to miss your recital in Philly on the 28th due to the unfortunate timing I had in contracting the flu. I look forward to getting a chance to say hello when you and Josh play at the McCarter Theater in Feb.

Have you ever been to Whitman’s Birthplace? It is on Long Island somewhere.

Hey Jeremy,
I stopped by to congratulate you for your wonderful performance at the Richmond Symphony last week. Thanks … I stayed on high for 72 hours post-concert just on the residual energy from that Prokofiev piece !

Back in the late 60’s I worked at the Marlboro Music Festival (on the staff – mostly schlepped pianos and emptied Casals’ garbage). I have many memories of the terrific music-making that Kirchner was involved in there – rehearsals of his 3rd quartet; an overheard lunch-time conversation between Leon and Jaime Laredo about the sexual energy in Bartok; a performance of Berg’s Kammerkonzert led by Leon that could only be described as evocative of Schubert in its great singing heart (the pianist was Murry Perhia who told me he hated the piece but he played it beautifully; just for Leon, he said). Thanks, Jeremy for bringing that back to me.

What a moving and personal tribute to Leon Kirchner and to the seeds he has planted in your life.

I learned about your blog today from Fred Child–he spoke of it with great praise on Performance Today, also noting today the death of your friend and colleague and playing your performance of the Mendelssohn trio with Ani Kavafian and Gary Hoffman. Thank you for your words and your music.

My condolences, Jeremy. I just sat down to do some day job work on Sunday night, and happened to be listening to Morimur because I’ve been thinking about the Chaconne this week, and opened the NYT to see the death notice – and I thought of how eloquently you spoke of Kirchner’s work at the regional chamber music festival in my state.
