Popular Post eitam 364 Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks Jay! Some interesting tidbits here! Quote Composing film music will always be his main focus; indeed he believes it’s probably the only aspect of his writing that has any real value. (I wonder how much of that is the journalist extrapolating) Quote 'The Imperial March seems to me a perfectly shaped piece that works very well.' (JW being uncharacteristically unmodest ) Quote 'my health is good by the way' Quote the composer has his sights set on a return to Vienna (‘I said I would go if someone will show me an autograph of Haydn’) A little disappointed that nothing is mentionned about a possible concert in Berlin, but another Vienna would be extremely fine Will, Once and Loert 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Good article. A few bits and pieces seem awfully (really, pretty much ad verbatim) familiar, even though it's new - did we already have parts of this phone interview in an earlier article?

Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Damn. I should actually *read* that at some point. It's been lying next to my desk since before Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,451 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yes, I KNEW I had read this before. But these days, all the Williams interviews are pretty much the same, so I wasn't 100% sure. Incidentally, I need to read the rest of that magazine at some point; all the classical reviews etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igger6 894 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hey, bonus points, though, for not including the words "they're" or "all" or "dead" in any order. Will and Once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
