AUTUMN HOT, SO HOT NOW

Yes, go back over diary entries this time last 2015 or 2014. Were those Keatsian days so roasting ?
Perhaps yes, I do be disremembering.
Now it’s reach and overreach the Heaney Number , health being splendid, the PIANO TRIO
NR. 2 ( with Viola ) and all the hay harvested.
Yes, I survived blistering heat , the temptation to let all go, to destroy finely wrought work, to cry : ” What’s the point?”
Soon we’ll have all the cello works in the composer’s bag , recorded for the new CD.
What’s new in the offing ? Strings or wind ? How fish for a performance , a recognition or a smile ?
Winter will come and the Fight for the Musical Faith, the composer’s indomitable will to plough icy fields. Be
prepared for all faint new autumnal stirrings , small or big. Be aware. Beware!
