I have just left Pittsburgh for a sabbatical that will last (with one small interruption) until I go back to work at the Pittsburgh Symphony next August 15 or thereabouts. I plan to write to all of you at once through sogg's blogg to keep you apprised as to what I'm up to. Pictures, too.
I say "I plan," since I don't want to promise anything. Like a lot of bloggers, I'll probably start more gung ho than I end. We'll all see.
Anyway, I'm taking advantage of free wifi and a 3-hour layover in Charlotte to start my blog. Flight to Frankfurt is in an hour and a half, and from there to Dresden. There, I'll be staying with the Weidner family for a few days while I find my own apartment. (They'll also pick me up.)
On December 16, I have my first meeting with Professor Ottenberg and Dr. Zimmermann, who are running the project I'll be working on. I expect we will be planning the upcoming tasks and my part in them -- tasks regarding manuscripts in the Saxony State Library which are being edited and prepared for publication. Besides the bassoon concerti in the cache, which I have already worked with, I really don't yet know what is in there. More when I know.
Now, I'm off to Frankfurt. But to show you some of what I left behind to do all this, I will now attempt to upload a couple pictures.
