Noi has bravely driven north for the weekend to oversee the on-going renovation of Maison KL whilst I get on with some marking. This has given me the opportunity to play one or two pieces at a somewhat higher volume than is usual - something approaching what I think might even be reasonable in the concert hall. It turns out that Bartok's The Miraculous Mandarin is a good deal more stirring than you might think when you can really hear the percussion towards the end. I hope the neighbours enjoyed it. (Just joking!)
Postscript: Just thought I'd let you know that the music of choice for late on Saturday night was a Sam Cooke compilation. Truly sweet soul music, sadly out of fashion, worthy of any reasonable volume.
