Jörg Widmann, Part 2: World Recognized Composer, Clarinetist, and Conductor - Current Composer-in-Residence for the Berlin Philharmonic!

Anthony Plog on Music

In Part 2, we continue our discussion about composition, including aspects such as revision, notation, writing in bursts rather than with a regular schedule (and why composing for very long hours is a joy), separating composing from clarinet and conducting, dealing with being writer's block, and working with Pierre Boulez. We end Part 2 by talking about his conducting career... how he got started, and his work with the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
