Follow


the

maritime


layer


on


its


inland


edge


which

the


DVC Pianists,


returning


to


compose


a fourth page of Six Enneads: IV, plus class preparation and paper grading (109th day of summer, cooling down slightly to high = 98, for the 34 90+ of the season),


then


out


again


to rendezvous with the


Music Historians, wrapping up the Romantic, and heading towards the amazing early 20th Century...
