melodies
I spoke to a friend of mine who commented he preferred the plucked piece
and then I thought of Steve Lacy and his comments about the soprano sax
and then took control more or less - more - of the violin - to the extent
that - you might want to throw out the other pieces - except for pizzicato
- if it's that - hardly a light plucking sound - anyway except for the
pizzicato accompanying the rainstorm - which turned into hail as you can
plainly hear - like the cannons in the background of Wanda Landowska -
anyway - let these replace the others - the work of a mature musician -
I'd even say mature thinking - extraordinary thinker with fingers and bow
- and then the last piece - it touches my heart - our hearts - pure bird
song with noise reduction - red-wing blackbirds, meadowlarks, many others
- noise reduction lending its own kind chirping, the marvelous and magical
mixture of analog and digital - what beauty there! - and in all the other
pieces as well - wonderful themes of parallel fourths and fifths with
somewhat minor seconds - my favorites of course -
