Gene Wilder: Do you call this tea?
Marty Feldman: No, I call it hot water. I was rinsing out the cup when you grabbed it.

from 18 June 2010:

I had arranged a Scene from White Nights for six instruments. 

It was a good thing to read it through yesterday (pf/vn/cl), because all three of us (and not I alone) now know what to expect musically of the span of the scene. And it was really exciting to hear this music at last (which for years has existed only in electronica) sound as air vibrations from instruments driven by people.

Hm—I must have the recording somewhere ....
