5/11 Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra, Ravel, La Valse. Waltz that in some passages sounds as if through a noise-ridden, hollow-sounding radio in the Forties, twenty years after the piece was written. Very disturbed while listening, cp. the recent Apple ad.

Strauss, Four Last Songs. Semantics coded into an aria, very mysterious.

Brahms, Fourth Symphony. Wikipedia has nothing about its meaning, only pages of harmonic analysis, I like that.

A friend of J from San Diego is raising money so her students can go to a drone competition in Utah.
