Elliott Carter and Elliott Carter new beginnings...

When my daughter and her husband told us they were naming their new child, Elliott Carter,  we thought to ourselves, that's a nice name. It had a good ring to it...how little did I know at the time that our grandson carries the same name as the famous classical composer,  Elliott Carter. One of my visitors, Joe, passed that information on to me and I really appreciated it. Thank you Joe...


I was thinking at first, seeing all of the visitors from all over the world, stopping by to visit my blog, boy am I a popular guy or what? Now I know the draw is my grandson and his famous name. Little Elliott doesn't have a clue right now, nor does he care that his name is tied to a famous person, but as he grows over the years, I will now be proud to tell him how special his name is. To all of my visitors stopping by, I can only say thank you, and I hope you enjoy what you see on my blog site and have taken a little time to explore it and check out the pictures and slide show of Elliott in his beginning stage of life. Perhaps Elliott will also become a composer or at least have his interests moved toward the arts. I will teach him the best I can with my new found knowledge. For all of those searching for the composer, so you won't be disappointed, I am going to add some links to Elliott Carter, the composer, and for me also, so I can research and learn about this man who, from what little I know, is a very talented person. Thank you all for stopping by to visit this once lonely blog... leave a note if you want to, as I would love to hear from you and one day I will pass your words and thoughts onto my grandson... thanks

    "Perhaps Elliott will also become a composer or at least have his interests moved toward the arts."

    Composers are a dime a dozen these days. What America needs is good middle-relief pitching.

    What a beautiful baby little Elliott is!

    The Pacifica Quartet's recent recordings of the older Elliott's string quartets, on Naxos, are fantastic. I was lucky enough to hear them play the full cycle in one concert last December, an insane feat brought off with great panache and musicianship.
