Mahler is known mostly for his symphonic use of texture and color to create entire universes from all the sounds an orchestra can produce. But did you know he also wrote one movement of a piano quartet as a student? It is pared down, three or four motivic ideas played out over nine minutes, and it is absolutely beautiful. I have probably listened to it six or seven times the past three days. Enjoy:

Gig!
We recently played a gig, featuring mostly rock and jazz. It was super fun! Check out this video from our performance.
"Judy and the Dream of Horses" - Belle & Sebastian
Waiting and Waiting...
Towards the end of last year, someone started writing an article about Octave for Cornell's website. They interviewed us, filmed us teaching lessons, and even came for a tour of our suite. We waited and waited for the article to be published (who wouldn't be excited to have an article published about them?), but it never appeared. Just when we began to think that it would never be published, it showed up on the Cornell website!
Any way, here it is!
