]]> Being in Prague and attending the conservatory, I’ve had A LOT of Dvorak… The New World Symphony, i.e. the ninth, is played everywhere. I hear it at least once a week.

What it has to do with what I want to tell you today? Well I’d like to introduce you to David Christoffel, author of Assimix, Ma newsletter du dimanche (My sunday’s newsletter) and “other epistolarities especially electronic” as he says himself. Today, his Solfiage has caught my attention. (Click on the link so you can listen to it on Arte Radio.)

“In order to learn a new piece, musicians and classical singers practice the solfiage. To solfy, it’s to sing the melody by naming the notes: C, D, E… David solfied for us an extract of Antonin Dvorak’s ’New World Symphony’.”

The result? I love it and from now on, I can’t listen to Dvorak anymore quite the same way…
Thanks for having renewed my experience of a symphony I’ve heard a million times.
