Karen is away in Portland, OR at Fotofest. Gallery had two visitors including Bruce Bergman.

Music at Bard

Went with Howard Saunders to Bard. 7 PM pre lecture was quite good. in retrospective the argument for the Janacek having provenance from Russian music hardly seemed beyond a doubt. I imagined Prokofiev borrowing from Janacek just a bit later. The harp concerto was great with numerous effects that were surprising and new to me. The Goetz was only interesting as an example of the fact that lots of very good art is created and either never recognized during its period or lost thereafter.
