June 25, Newburgh, Concert. Nielsen, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius. Conductor describes the music from the podium by way of introduction. It’s funny – there may be about five or ten language constructs with which to describe orchestral music, and they are all used in every description. I will prepare for concerts by at least listening to the pieces beforehand.

I don’t feel like writing political texts because I don’t want to repeat what others have long since written down. But once again I forgot that I always write only to make clarify something for myself that I do not yet understand properly. And if that is something political, I will in fact write about politics.
