Yikes, getting to read some of my long-winded, opinionated posts from over a decade ago. ![:hihi:]( "HiHi")
But also a chance to remember some good KVRians from back in the day, though.![:D]( "Very Happy")
So, regarding Anton Webern's Opus 18, I recall working at a record store back when the Boulez recordings of his complete works came out. I had already listened to some of Webern's compositions, but most of it was new to me. And in looking through the booklet I remember that I too was surprised to see that the personnel for that piece included none other than John Williams on guitar.
Over the years I've heard at least one live performance, I want to say with David Tannenbaum on guitar.
But, yes, a century ago Webern decided to include the guitar in his Opus 18 that's no doubt still being performed and listened to by some who dare to enter the interesting world of one whose life ended in such a tragic way.![:hail:]( "We're not worthy....")
