Sitting at the Starbucks on I40 watching the traffic go by and the fireworks in the distance. A thunderstorm is coming in from the east. Israel just left Santa Fe and will be in late. I'm reading John Berendt's 2nd book The City of Falling Angels and listening to the Hilliard Ensemble sing Josquin.

Today I played Ives' Variations on America and it went flawlessly. I'll try to make a vid for YouTube sometime this month.

I was just listening to the Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 4 in C minor this afternoon. Then I went on a search for a digital recording of all the Sonatas. I finally settled on a recording by Mela Tenenbaum & Richard Kapp. Really nice.

I really enjoy your YouTube videos of you playing.

serendipitous :-)

That sounds like a good choice - the newer recordings are probably better. Paul Zukofsky was the son of Louis Zukofsky who was a fairly arcane poet. For me though this made him a romantic figure, so I sought him out. On this particular recording, his violin sound was very lovely.
