SLO...O...W WRITING
I finished an outline for MY UKRAINIAN RUSSIAN NOVEL over the weekend. This morning I finished a draft of its first part, the "Prologue." It's a different feel, this attempt at writing of a (HUGE) novel. I feel the urge to speed up, but am deliberately slowing down the pace. I suspect speeding up might cause me to run out of steam.
Anyway, to fuel the novel, I'd been listening to Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. Obsessively. Played it constantly, 24-7, over five days. Until I felt I had to break myself of it. Well, what can break someone off Tchaikovsky (tho I'll keep returning to it of course)? But of course, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major. Here are two three renditions I like (I want to blog it, too, so I can more easily access them). The first is more traditional and the second is really FUN! There many renditions out there, but I love the COMMAND(!) of the first rendition. As for the second, I bought Jacques Loussier for my Itunes after hearing him....
P.S. Of course there's ALSO the Glenn Gould!
Humm away, Mr. Gould!
