Hello, dear 24-every-key club.
It’s time for something completely different. How did you do today with this new language? I played through it about four or five times to get to this point:
This is quite a decision on my part to share my fourth or fifth reading with you, but I thought it a good idea, given how far afield Mr. Shostakovich takes us. My suggestion: play this music with as much feeling and gesture as you can muster. Pretend that things resolve. Eventually they will resolve; this is not Schoenberg, however much it may feel at times.
I’m so happy to play with you again. Love, Helen
