Program Notes Available on Short Notice - Composers K-N

If you are seeking something that you don’t see listed, please ask.  I do not update this list daily and it is possible that the item you’re seeking I’ve written quite recently.  If not, I have many resources at hand and can produce almost anything promptly, particularly if it is an unlisted work by a composer for whom I’ve written other notes.  

For operas, I can provide synopses as well as program notes.  For lieder and choral works, I can often provide texts in the original language and English translation, more readily for Germanic and Romance languages than for Slavic or Oriental languages. However, lately, I’ve been typing a lot of Czech, so that language is less problematic than it was formerly.

The best way to find a composer's name on this page quickly is with the Edit - Find On This Page option that is almost certainly in your tool bar.  Lacking that link, using Control-F should achieve the same goal.
