I recently completed my video talk for the upcoming annual meeting of the American Musicological Society. I’m posting a slightly longer “Director’s Cut” on here, along with the typescript and “handout.” I’m really excited about this material, and putting the talk itself together was one of the hardest cases of having to cut a lot of my favorite examples and observations just to hit the timing. I’m excited to combine this with some more analytical work I’ve already done on these pieces, and turn the whole thing into a core chapter of my eventual book on Beach.
