But such details are trivial when reading your thoughtful posting.

After awhile I started keeping an extract journal of bits that were so touching, giggle-inducing, profoundly true, or just perfectly phrased that I couldn’t bear to let them go. I emerged with several thoughts: 1) I seem to have joined the--apparently vast--group of anonymous internet denizens who are madly in love with you (or at least your online persona). 2) I will never ever dare come up to you after a concert and say anything. 3) How I wish I could hear music as viscerally as you do. Even after working through several entries with a score and recording, I know I’m hearing only a faint echo of what you describe. 4) I need to listen to the Quartet for the End of Time as soon as possible--although it’s so far from my comfort zone I can’t believe I’m saying this. (Fortunately there’s a performance at Town Hall on May 4, so I can act before I lose my nerve.) The vision you evoked is so heart-stoppingly splendid--I hope I can hear it. 5) Someone mentioned the possibility of your blog being made into a book. If any prospective publisher wants to know, even though I just read the whole thing, if it were available as a book, I would run out in a minute and buy copies for me and all my friends. I came here to post this, went over to the Take a Friend to the Orchestra page, and came back with two more extracts for my journal--and a lot to think about.
