The opening note

A little time, a closer listen.

On listening a little more closely: to the music, to the silence, and to what stays with us.

Gaspard Musicaux begins with a simple pleasure: making time for music. A familiar recording heard afresh, a phrase that follows us home, a quiet discovery at the end of the day.

This is a place for thoughtful writing about classical music and the experience of listening. For curiosity, for returning to old favourites, and for finding something to carry into the night.

Stay a while. There is much to hear.
