I haven't begun to work on Michelle's exhibition music yet. Maybe Dr. Watson can take on that assignment.

Re: Cracking the case of Michelle's skating music

Eltamina Sherlock - I'm impressed with your case cracking and also with the asistance of Dr. Watson.
I'm a big fan of Ricard Strauss and I knew that MK's Salome was more than the Dance of the Seven Veils. thanks - Joe

Re: Cracking the case of Michelle's skating music

I bet if they put out a CD (or 2 CD set) of the music Michelle has used in her skating programs, it would sell very well. Seriously. I think a DVD of all Michelle's programs plus interviews over the years would also do extremely well. Not that Michelle needs the money, but her fans would love it and perhaps part of the proceeds could go to charity. To get all of Michelle's music for $20 to $30 bucks and all of her programs for a similar price--I bet the sales of each would be several million the first year at least.

I hope not, it is more fun to buy all the cds, and listen to everything. OTOH, it is a good idea, to have all of Mk's music conveniently packaged into 1 - 2 discs.

Re: Cracking the case of Michelle's skating music

I think there's someone at MKF who made CDs with all of Michelle Kwan's music.

Re: MK Exhibition/Competition CDs

THAT was what I was talking about.

Re: WOW

Thanks eltamina,

Here's more:

Rach SP - not sure if people know this, but the music is actually 2 different Rach pieces. The second half is Piano Concerto No. 3, but the first half is from Trio Elegiaque No. 2 in D minor. The part used is from the Moderato section and is about 7 1/2 minutes into the section. This is not the recording I have, but it's what I found on Amazon. Also, from the book Edge of Glory, the Trio music was actually intended for Karen but not used.
