      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          "Variety is the Spice of Life" - Michael Nyman et al.
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          I'm in a forgiving mood today dear - Gesualdo to his wife

                          90 minutes is quite long enough for my Operas - Richard Wagner

                          My next 3 String Quartets will make for relaxed listening - Dimitri Shostakovich after completing No 12

                          The Da Capo repeat is totally unnecessary in Arias & I'll never use it - G F Handel

                          That's definitely my last symphony - F J Haydn after completing no 9

                          Sorry have a puncture, no cycling today - Ernest Chausson

                          This 8th Symphony is rather good after all, I'll keep it - Jean Sibelius

                          No, Peter you can't sing it, you sound just like one of my father's patients during a tooth extraction - Benjamin Britten

                          That'll do for starters.

                            no, I think we should start the premiere a bit earlier than usual, around 7 .00 maybe?

                            I really wouldnt want anybody missing the last train home on my account.

                            A Webern.
