I stayed away from this forum for half a year, for reasons that should not be discussed here. Or maybe, at least in part.
I'm still wondering if I should describe my own impressions of the Night of the Proms after all this time. After all, I promised it. However, another topic currently seems more important to me. It's about Emily Bears development and the future of this board. Both are closely related.
Shortly after I registered, I noticed that this forum, the first one I wanted to actively participate in, is something special, but unfortunately not always in a positive sense. So there we have a member who untiringly finds and embeds or links every relevant snippet, be it text or video. If you take all this out, there is hardly anything left, especially lately. I still remember my disappointment when the entire community refused to use my short review of "Into The Blue" as a starting point for a discussion on this EP. (I looked at my post again to make sure that my memory does not deceive me). That should not be a reproach, just an honest confession. This experience has certainly been one of the reasons to postpone the work on the promised review again and again.
Any contribution, be it just a report or filming a concert in the rain, can not be overstated.
So far, I came to the following conclusions:
1.) For me it is clear that a forum like this for a single artist, no matter how active and brilliant, is not appropriate. There are too few topics and news. Has anyone ever heard of a forum exclusively dedicated to Diana Krall, Laila Biali or Lynne Arriale? For such topics, there are other platforms that naturally have all their advantages and disadvantages: Youtube, Whatsapp, Facebook ... We should discuss this.
2.) In the beginning everything was easier: Little Emily was so sweet, there was a spirit of optimism, and everyone could project his own ideas of a brilliant career on this girl: celebrated concert pianist, composer in the rank of Mozart or leader of a jazz band? Now, the little lady is rapidly growing up and has long had her own ideas about her career. Let's face it: If she really is eyeing a carreer as producer and composer of film music, there will be even less material for this forum to post.
Writing this post for me is something of a liberation, helping me to sort my thoughts and giving me a good feeling. That would, if it doesn‘t trigger any reaction again, help to contain my disappointment . Nevertheless, I would of course prefer if I received a few answers.
P.S. I'd like to thank Google Translate for helping with the translation…
