I consider reflecting on music and various subjects as even important as the practice of music itself.
Therefore I like to share some thoughts.  I hope they provide some pleasant reading ;-)

On tuning and temperament - the beauty of a pure third

On analogy

Technique vs. musicality


On music education

On guitar composition

On interpretation - Where is Glenn Gould?

God and Spinoza

On historically informed practice

On music transcription

​Ratio vs. intuition

Is music a language?

Is a composer's later work better than his early work?

On the importance of a good instrument

Performing vs. composing

​On my guitar teachers
