-## Notes 
- 
-Another fun night at the symphony! 
- 
-The show began with a mere trifle, a sort of musical //amuse-bouche// from Beethoven, then continued with another appetizer, Beethoven’s song cycle [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_die_ferne_Geliebte|An die ferne Geliebte (To the Distant Beloved)]]. 
- 
-John Adams’ Absolute Jest was originally commissioned to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the San Francisco Symphony in 2011; tonight, a newly reworked version served as a fun way to end the first half of the program. 
- 
-The evening closed with a powerful rendition of Beethoven’s 4th Symphony -- another sunny and cheerful piece, and an appropriate way to end the night.

- 
-Joshua Kosman published a [[http://www.sfgate.com/music/article/SF-Symphony-review-Jest-an-absolute-joy-4490181.php|laudatory review]] with the SF Chronicle.

-Jason Victor Serinus has posted a brief interview with Michael Fabiano -- discussing in part An die ferne Geliebte -- at the [[https://www.sfcv.org/events-calendar/artist-spotlight/michael-fabiano-on-beethoven-and-beyond|San Francisco Classical Voice website]].
