Think of it as a haiku-type thing, condensing your wonderful insights into an essence 'a la Jeremy'.

However, I do think you may have overlooked a possible connection between global warming and the slowing of the Brahms. As water levels rise, the water table worldwide will come closer to the surface, releasing greater amounts of humidity into the atmosphere. Higher humidity generally makes people a bit sluggish and move more slowly. As pianists slow down with humidity fatigue, the concerto may become even more distended than even your proposed model suggests. By 2060, it could even gain a new soubriquet: Brahms' Water Music. The husband (who wonders at all the hilarity) and I look forward to hearing you with Joshua in Portsmouth next month! I started giggling early in the piece and was laughing out loud by the end.

We miss your funny blog alerts and I always enjoy reading it as much as it's also informative. You're a great professor. By the way, I read from the news you'll be performing live w/ Joshua Bell this coming 21st. At last, the Denk fans will be able to watch your collaboration on PBS. Please play the Franck sonata.....
