-## Notes  
- 
-A fine afternoon's recital! 
- 
-I was unfamiliar with the opening work, and somewhat put off by the program notes touting it as containing "almost all that can be desired of musical expression" -- just a little bit of bombast on the part of the promoter, perhaps? -- but in performance, it turned out to be interesting enough. It's not clear to me why the ten movements were not identified in the program notes -- they were obviously marked by full stops during performance -- maybe someday I'll read more about the piece. and find out why! 
- 
-I found the Mendelssohn piece to be the highlight of the day, as he's one of my favorite composers. Like his magnificent octet, this work unravels with a questing sense that is unrivaled in the classical repertoire. 
- 
-And while I was looking forward to hearing the Beethoven work again, on this reading I found it to be somewhat turgid and dark ... very much the product of a man suffering from dire illness. This probably fits well with the fall season, but on such a sunny day, the contrast with my mood was too great.
