see what you missed?

My editors were happy with my review of Stanford's Stravinsky Project, which pleases me, because - lacking time to do it any other way - I drafted it in longhand on a notepad while listening inconspicuously from a back corner to an informal student chamber music concert. (It's OK - this was an evening concert, but to the noon ones you're invited to bring your lunch, though few ever do.) Not the way I usually write much of anything, except for taking notes. But it came out a full draft of 1100 words, beefed up a little in revision back home on the computer.

Anyway, a good experience. I'm not the biggest Stravinsky fan, and unlike these performers I actually like it when his neo-classical music is played in a staccato, emotionless style, but it was an interesting experience to have gone through, and I hope they'll hold other events like it again. Wish you were there.
