The
day
begins
with
another
spectacular
morning
commute
(the
fog
everywhere
and
nowhere), beginning of Week 5 with the Pianists,
and
a
return
progression
just
about
as
striking
on
the
edge-of-it-all
680 /
80 corridor,
ricocheting
further
to
UC
Davis's
Mrak
Walk
and
Sibley
Library
to
search-and-rescue
scores of Dmitri Shostakovich's Scherzo in Eb Major for Orchestra and Samuel Barber's Music for a Scene from Shelley,
both
Op.
7,
of
course.
Finally
home, compose page 8 of Six Enneads: IV, score-study fifth system of Alban Berg's Wozzeck: Act I (Scene 3, Lullaby) and first of those for Shostakovich and Barber,
returning down the
beautyway to the evening's activities as above, on this 114th day of summer, high 89.
