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 -
