    The Many Faces of Peter Schickele

    Spend New Year's Day on Soundcheck with the inimitable Peter Schickele, his alter-ego, Professor Peter Schickele and his most infamous subject, P.D.Q. Bach. Composer, musician, author, and satirist Schickele will take us on a musical tour of some of his own recent compositions and offer a survey of the work of the little-known, and most deservedly under-appreciated child of J.S. Bach.

More about Peter Schickele and the "oddest of JS Bach's 20-odd children."

Read the New York Times review of P.D.Q. Bach's Lincoln Center concert, "Oops, I Did it Again!"

Soundcheck received an overwhelming response to our segment on the effects of urban noise. So much so that Arline Bronzaft decided to address the feedback. Listen to the original segment and read Bronzaft's response.
