Enough with the Retrospection, Already

 Oh, the improbably inappropriate cell-phone conversations some people have on public transportation.

We have four rehearsals in the book for our 14 October concert at King’s Chapel, we now have parts for Kevin Scott’s Min'khah (In Remembrance Shoshanna C. Winson). Finalizing the actual program must needs wait until our 27 September rehearsal (a week from today) when we get a-playing. Frank Warren and Dennis Bathory-Kitsz are writing pieces for our April 2026 King’s Chapel concert. Houston Dunleavy invites us to purchase his Concord Duet, a superb piece which is sufficiently challenging that I need to sound out a couple of our members for their opinion on feasibility. It’s “only” four minutes, but it’s four minutes richly lived. I’d play it if I could.

Perhaps tomorrow I shall do actual work on my new guitar notions for the Opus 203. And see if I want to work on Opp. 203 & 205 in parallel, or one after the other. That’s all for today.
