Introducing Crepuscular Music: A Note for Fiction and Non-Fiction Readers

This Substack is undergoing change.

Dear Readers,

I’m writing to let you know that from now on the formerly known Crepuscular Musings is Crepuscular Music: exclusively a classical music performance analysis site.

Up to now this Substack has comprised classical music reviews, excerpts of fiction and the occasional dive into cinema. This will no longer be the case. Given the number of writers, YouTubers, podcast hosts and other creatives online who blend genres, aesthetics and disciplines, I’ve decided to preserve these articles distinctly. All fiction-related work (including introductory essays and sneak peeks) will now be hosted at https://www.thecrepuscularpress.com/clp-essays. No more treatises on cinema or tv shall be published. For the sake of posterity older articles will be kept on the Substack.

I am also using this announcement to extend a call-out to my fellow classical music lovers. Rather than limiting Crepuscular Music’s output to my words alone, I am looking forward to publishing guest articles on classical music performance from writers all over the world. If you’re interested in contributing analytical pieces that capture the mostly intransmittable experience of live classical or opera performance, write to me at sophia [at] thecrepuscularpress.com.

I look forward to growing this Substack as a hub of classical music writing only. For those of you who subscribed on account of my fiction, please head to https://www.thecrepuscularpress.com/release-alerts to sign up there. You will be sent news of all future fiction releases and accompanying essays and sneak peeks.

To anyone who subscribed mostly to read cinema and tv explorations, sorry that they haven’t featured much. As a classical music devotee and novelist, I’m honestly not qualified enough to keep a Substack with consistent updates on those arts.

Thank you to all for subscribing and reading this note.

All my best,

Sophia
