Today, I’m listening to Jeremy Denk’s new Ives record, which came out on iTunes this morning.
I don’t really know much about this music, but that’s ok, because he obviously does*. It sounds magnificent.
* indeed, he’s one of our generation’s most erudite and articulate musical commentators, something that people would talk about more if he didn’t also play the piano.
Proper Discord 
Ives’ Concord Sonata is one of the major works of modern keyboard music. It’s hard to get into at first, but after you listen to it a few times, you start to find the threads that hold it together.
If you haven’t read it before, I would highly recommend reading Ives’ “Essays Before A Sonata” (which is available online here from Project Gutenberg).
Yes, definitely; you can even grab it on your iPad or iPhone from Apple’s iBookstore.
I’ll be sure to get it as soon as it’s available in lossless!
Don’t even get me started.
