@christophertinmusic: Writing a new completion of Puccini's "Turandot" was one of the most daunting and challenging things I've ever done. Note-for-note, I spent more time writing this piece than anything else I've written by far. To give a little inside look into how we created the ending, I made an incredibly detailed score video: all 18 minutes of the complete ending, filled with notes about the key creative choices we made: from my librettist Susan Soon He Stanton's new plot twists, to my own approach to the music: combining Puccini's leftover sketches with key quotations from the completed portions of the opera, alongside my own new melodies (many of which were built from inverted fragments of Puccini's themes). Give it a listen and see for yourself how we tackled one of the most challenging commissions in all of opera.#YumaKagiyama

Must be interesting to see into Puccini’s brain. This is why mathematicians prove theorems in new ways: you enter into that mental space and maybe can see how the angle you took differs from another, and especially the chance to connect with the greats. I think that’s what Newton meant about standing on the shoulders of giants: that’s the where the mind is, so it was like he was inside their minds and climbing higher with them.
