## Notes 

I enjoyed tonight's recital, but not quite as much as the [[2013-10-13|Schiff recital]] a few days earlier. It was interesting to sit off to stage right ... I had an excellent view of Yuja's left hand, but it was awkward sitting at an angle in my chair, and I preferred the full piano tone of the center section seat I enjoyed for the other show.
