Way Out

I mentioned a couple of days ago how being able to watch musicians perform pieces somehow added to the experience of listening to those pieces for me. This morning, in a lull between classes, I found further confirmation of that idea when I chanced upon a video of a performance of Steve Reich's Music for Eighteen Musicians. It's a brilliant piece, of course, but this version transported me to another place when I really should have stayed where I was. One way of escaping the lockdown, I suppose.
