The nice thing about having the work begin as a 'blog' form is that you are able to gradually educate the very people who will hopefully be able to help you 'polish' the work's trivia details. I'd like to encourage you to continue, realizing most of us are totally unschooled in those analytic methods. But still able to fill in bits of history and detail as might be appropriate.

Charles Dickens released his novels in chapters in the paper first didn't he? Armistead Maupin did his "Tales of the City" as weekly installments didn't he? I'm getting more support for doing the paper manifestation thing. But I think I'm going to do both. Well…. Charles Dickens released his novels in chapters in the paper first didn’t he?

By coincidence, I had been sitting here this morning, watching the raindrops bounce off the glass doors.... When I listened to this passage, the rain had stopped, and I felt as if the music was telling the story of this rainy morning--so odd for February in New York. Lovely. Cello is an instrument I've always wished I could play. Oh....blog or book? In this day and age when so much of life is virtual, having a real book to touch, smell and feel would be nice. I have to admit, however, that for those of us without the musical talents for analyzing music as you do, the sound clips you have posted have been most helpful. A dilemma, to be sure.

It's a great idea to bring it out on a blog, but if it's in print we can spread the word to other people, for instance, I'm sure my music teacher at college would be very interested to have a browse and see what "all the fuss is about" and if I were to hand him a book, it would have more impact and chance of him reading it than a web address...surely? :O We need a BOOK!
