back
on the
freeways and thence home to edit even more of The Decameron - Fourth Day: X and Psalm 122 (pages 5 and 6 respectively),
over a variety of
enlightening videos with
Harriet.
The day begins with the
freewayic
reverse of this
(on the 51st day of summer, highest even yet of year at 89, and 11th as 80-or-better for the year),
meeting the Theoreticians for Zihao's fine presentation of a pentatonic piece,
Board Harmony on Kurt Cobain's Heart-Shaped Box, (borrowed Add6 Chord from Minor) and
another wonderful composition from
Ashley,
plus another visit to Owen's class.
Also finish score-study of George Enescu's Symphony No. 2, Op. 17, No. 1 (Introduction, 1914 - four pages total), and begin that for the Alan Hovhaness Symphony No. 1, Op. 17: Andante maestoso (1937).
