We at MTO are proud to present Volume 29, no. 1, our March issue, which includes five new articles and two reviews. There is an impressive range of theoretical topics and repertoires covered, which might translate, for the most focused and/or time-strapped readers, as “something for everyone.” Given the creativity, depth, and accessibility of these offerings, however, I much prefer the characterization “everything for everyone!” We hope to see you there soon.
 
Best Regards,
Brent Auerbach
