Anyway. Hence follows an explanation of the concerto in part six and some musical influences, because, judging by what happened last time, people will ask.

thanks so much for taking the time to list out your influences for sherlock's concerto. I'm a classically trained singer but for most of my life I've been devoted to hard rock and heavy metal instead of orchestral music. :P So I'm coming to educate myself more deeply at this time. I mean I studied music history of course, so I know all those composers by name and style, but classical was never my focus. I seem to hear a lot of orchestral pieces as "horses galloping galloping"... it's a lot more interesting to me to think of the violin as Sherlock, it adds an element of fiction that helps me engage. I'll be downloading these pieces if I can find them! I'm really enjoying your story ( ... )

Aha, oh man, I'm practically the complete opposite of you, then. Apart from a little piano when I was a kid, I have zero actual education or training in music, let alone particularly classical; but since my dad's a professional french hornist, I have plenty of amateur experience with orchestral music and performances. I agree, though, that thinking of the violin as Sherlock helps to engage with the music. I noticed a signifcant increase in my own attention to a lot of pieces once I started writing this, and was thinking of Sherlock's concerto in particular ( ... )

thanks for your long and thoughtful reply! I love that you do not go all the way towards the virtuoso Sherlock. I always give my leads too much perfection. :D
