Since I am still very much involved in music, I was fascinated to read that Elliott Carter is still alive and composing. He is now 102! What a feat and to be composing is wonderful. Wonder if his secret is Carter's little liver pills. That is the source of his wealth. He is part of the family.
Just read in the paper today that the New Music Concerts put on a concert that featured his music that he wrote since he reached the age of 100 plus.
The reviewer was quite complementary about Carter's music. This is at time that many centenarians would be in a senior's home trying to survive not write music for concerts.
What an inspiration! Not sure what I want to be doing at 102 but working at something is the trick.
