After the general success of 2022 in terms of sheer output, it was quite challenging to repeat the same results. Add to this that I started to print my scores, a process that, at least in the beginning, involved quite a lot of pain. Still, I am grateful to have done the investment, or I would have for sure regretted this in the future.
This article is an expanded version of the _Editorial Notes_ that can be found in the published edition, available [at this link.] A promotional video of this score can be [watched here.]
[Last time,] we covered the poor experience I had with fetching my new Mac at the Apple Store. Presently, instead, I’m writing this article already on the new machine, completely set up. A few files still reside on the old Mac and will be transferred soon enough, but I would like you to know that I’m now up and running and delighted with it.
Happy Birthday, Justus Johann Friedrich **Dotzauer** (b otd 1783, 241 years ago!)
One of the crucial figures for the development of modern cello playing and possibly the most influential pedagogue of his time. Most of how we play cello today saw the light thanks to his research and inspiration.
