I came to a striking realization this evening...

I think when I go for my masters I would like to do an emphasis on Baroque and Modern music for a Performance Masters degree!

Well, from my experiences... the more 'striking' the realization, the sonner it'll fade away. :P
Why the sudden urge?
U mean you'll do a write up for your Masters?
Interesting topic you've got then. But I think it's detrimental to the brain cells...seems a tedious topic to me. I can imagine the no of word count in my mind already! 10000 words, packed, squeezed and in small fonts.

ok striking isn't the best word... but I never actually took it "seriously" as an option... But I've been thinking about it a lot. I'm a member of the Penn State Baroque Ensemble, which I truly enjoy. I've worked with several composers... enjoyed that. And I realize, hmmm... this is what I like to do. Both going back to period style playing and playing modern music is a challenge. AND I always LOVE challenges. So, I guess it isn't a sudden urge.

I assume for a Masters degree program, that there would be a big paper to write. Dunno, depends on the school and the program you go into... Hey anyone, know which schools are known for Baroque and Modern Violin Performance Studies in the USA.

OH, and I go to Penn State, I do enough papers as it is, so it's not too huge a deal for me.

Carmignola's reissue by Sony is my 1st ever recording of a Period-Instrument Ensemble. I bought it out of impulse coz i was so pissed of that day.

At first i hated their playing. I didn't understand. Then i begin to like HIP. So far i have three versions in my library and love them. Carmingola's, Biondi's and the latest by Amandine Beyer w/ Gli Incogniti on Zig-Zag Territoires. All three play on Manuscript version with all Four Lightning/Thunder played. J'adore !!!!
