A most curious dream last night, in which Charles & I talked a good deal about our respective music. Whatever else, it must mean that right down into my subconscious, I have full confidence in the Viola Sonata.

And rightly so!   8)

Do you mean that you dreamed about Koechlin? ???

Oh I see! That was no dream, you feel asleep while talking to him on the phone! :D

Hah! Charles & I get on fairly well; I understand, though, that he might be averse to people he's on the phone with falling asleep (I am speculating . . . .)

In other news, I met Jaya at FCB this morning; she has perused the first pages of The Mystic Trumpeter, and she is enthusiastic.

Still, I've been making progress mostly on the Cello Sonatina . . . sometime I should fold the new stuff into the Sibelius file . . . .

It's still strange to me to think composers working without quill and ink! :D

Oh, I've never written with a quill . . . tomorrow I'll show you the ink draught of the new contrapuntal stuff, though.

Latest Cello Sonatina:

Cor, and I've just found a print-out I made of Poe's "Annabel Lee" . . . I remember a strong impulse to set it, but I do not at all recall what I had in mind, voice-wise . . . .

Hey, I remembered what I had in mind for "Annabel Lee"! I selected that poem to set unaccompanied for Carola's crack quartet.

I don't know if I deserve to be so happy just for remembering this . . . but I am.

Koechlin: Hello Karl, how do you shampoo your beard?  I find that it's all in the conditioner... ;D

Karl: why I never thought I would be having a conversation with one of the members of ZZ top, could you sing that song?

:D

Cool!  I can just see you working on that by candle light... of course isn't that what made Bach go blind?

Is it too obvious, with the stretto (or is that not quite right? I mean the interval between entrances getting shorter) and the inversion?

Let Lethe have another turn!  I am busy most of tomorrow and on the road to Peoria on Thursday!   :o   Yes, and the sooner I can turn around and leave Illinois the better!   0:)

The Road to Peoria!! I have found the title for the projected harpsichord solo piece.  Perfect, as it is intended for Paul, a native of Niles, Ill.

There are two kinds of living musicians. Those with enough of a name to appear in Listen magazine. And the rest of us.

It's not helping them any with those of us who have never heard of Listen magazine.   :P

Arkivmusic's magazine.  It was Joshua Bell on the cover, I received a free copy. :)
