things my fingerlings need to play

philip glass composed his piano etudes to provide new music for his solo piano concerts in addition to expanding his piano technique with music that would enhance and challenge his playing.

glass has never released or published the music for these pieces and maintains performance rights to them. as of yesterday, my new project is to transcribe and learn one of his etudes every day. yesterday i completed etude v.

as i am writing this, i notice that someone on youtube has apparently taken it upon themselves to transcribe some of the etudes and POST THE SCORE along with the music in the video. ultimate moral quandary: this is total copyright infringement.... i think i will stick to my ears....
