It must be the holidays, as I've actually had time to think about music. Yesterday afternoon I went through all the Schetky keyboard material again, weeded and timed it, and have got the solo keyboard part of the record down to a crisp 27 minutes of sterling stuff. What's more, I've scanned and printed it, and put it all together in a folder: an important psychological step on any project.  I can play most of it too, apart from one page of Beethovenian wildness for which I'll need to work up some stamina. 

But now it really is holiday time. Blue skies (excellent cycling weather this morning), and an appointment to keep for tea at Tchai-Ovna with two McGillivrays.
