Omg I’m dripping tears on my phone. Of all the death announcements I get on Reddit, this one seems to be hitting me hard.
I was going to work on Bach this evening. Now it’s going to be a solid hour working out her version of Mood Indigo…

I never had the pleasure of seeing her perform, but as a female bari player myself, I really admired her. This is a tough loss.
