I: Music finished: one hour and 17 minutes' worth. Though the first order of business is, getting all of this "live" again, as Sibelius files. If I can manage that by Independence Day, I shall consider it the Eighth Wonder of the Modern World.Here it is, the overcast dawn of Independence Day, and if we have not quite threatened to crowd the present Wonders, I am well pleased with the progress. New (and improved) editions in Sibelius are done for:
- Op. 75 № 1: Overture [duration 11:00]
- Op. 75 № 2: Scene 1. St Petersburg, City of the White Nights [duration 13:00]
- Op. 75 № 3: Scene 2. A Walk in the Meadows [duration 6:30]
- Op. 75 № 4: Scene 3a. Nastenka at the Bridge [duration 6:00]
- Op. 75 № 5: Scene 3b. An Awkward Pas-de-trois; A Relieved Pas-de-deux; & The Dreamer's Elation After [duration 8:00]
- Op. 75 № 6: Intermezzo I [duration 6:00]
Total duration of the music now (at last) "in the can": 50:30
The order of business today, then, is to send copies of the refreshed score to a certain colleague . . . and to plunge ahead into Night the Second.

I am hopeful that White Nights will be the work to interest many more people in Henningmusick!
I think the key is getting the whole thing done. I don't necessarily get anyone's ear with "I have a large work which is half done." But when a work of this scope is DONE . . . .
