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!
