#compconvo drew a wonderful parallel - a composition can be like a branch, it's beautiful as is but closer look exposes order and intricacy

"I don't want people listening to my music and analyzing it, I want them to get lost in it" - @schneidermaria #compconvo

#compconvo If @schneidermaria hadn't become a composer, she'd have pursued a career related to birds. Particularly birdsong, naturally

#compconvo @schneidermaria is wearing flamenco shoes!

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 9/28/2012 7:40:07 PM
#compconvo sorry, shoe fans, no I'm not getting a closeup photo of her flamenco shoes.

#compconvo @schneidermaria talking about how cultures use music as an alchemy to turn pain into something human, rich, real

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:42:09 PM
#compconvo @danielgilliam points out that @schneidermaria's work is very collaborative - fan funding, working with musicians

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:43:51 PM
#compconvo @schneidermaria admits she's never liked being alone and that she can work with ppl moving in and out of the room

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:44:19 PM
#compconvo if @schneidermaria could meet any composer living/dead, she'd talk with Bach.

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:45:04 PM
Dinner and drinks with Bach. My new indie/classical/emo/theater/polka band. #compconvo

#compconvo there's a kind of improvisation that can't be improvised unless you have enough of a jazz vocabulary - @schneidermaria

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:47:56 PM
#compconvo @schneidermaria thinks it is more likely a jazz musician can sneak into classical than vice versa

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 9/28/2012 7:48:32 PM
"Classical depts have to get more open" to include jazz and other music - @schneidermaria in #compconvo

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:49:13 PM
#compconvo attendee question: is there a time option for next gen listeners? @schneidermaria says she'd like to start recording miniatures

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:50:27 PM
Great question from #compconvo attendee about music length. I'd probably listen more if pieces were shorter. #RockRaised

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 9/28/2012 7:51:29 PM
"Maybe we're all changing" - @schneidermaria on attention span becoming shorter #compconvo

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:52:24 PM
When in school they didn't have a phone, a computer so @schneidermaria would listen to music - an entire album again and again #compconvo

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 9/28/2012 7:54:17 PM
shoot I missed that last question and it caused some sharp intakes of breath at #compconvo

by Julia Schrenkler via twitter 9/28/2012 7:54:57 PM
#compconvo @schneidermaria explains how artist share works - its a peek behind the process curtain for supporters

by ClassicalMPR via twitter 9/28/2012 7:57:03 PM
#compconvo @schneidermaria explains that we are used to reality tv and we're used to seeing people's stories - a great lesson for orchestras

Thank you, @schneidermaria @thespco @ComposersForum! What a wonderful #compconvo
