Your Mozart last Sunday was a delight, particularly the third movement. Keep contemplating, dwelling, lingering...whatever it is you do that creates this magic.

A piece I may never hear again. My dictionary defines "hap" as "fortunate" Now all we have to do is straighten out "hip" and "hep" I found your remarks at last year’s Seattle Chamber Music festival to be a great help in understanding and enjoying the odd piece you played.

The anxiety alone of the grinding metal drill is exhausting. I wonder what made the subway passenger smile reading about Urology unless it’s a humorous book guide on bladder irrigations and kidney stones. Going to a urology exam is not a happy moment either. I went to your last concert in NY and even w/ the absence of a pre-concert talk on Gershwin’s Rhapsody, didn’t care. I was so happy that I came and witnessed a rare spectacular Jeremy performance. I was definitely smiling through my ears and humming all the way home. It was a perfect evening. Now I could wish it was taped for future public consumption so the happiness will be spread.

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 14:22:48 +0000 http://jeremydenk.net/blog/2007/07/02/pursuit-of/#comment-2940 This post just made my Tuesday morning. As far as pre-concert talks, I've only had limited experience with pre-opera talks here in Austin. My father likes attending them, even though the woman who does them has such a patronizing tone as to be off-putting. I'm sure if she could force people to get in the correct mood (happy for opera buffa), she would. I just try to zone out during the talks of hers I've attended; I've even took a book to read during the pre-"Barber of Seville" talk I attended a few months ago.
