## Notes

DRD swaps movements 2/3 in the first work but MN catches the goof immediately, and without batting an eye, quickly swaps her score pages and "catches up".

In his post-intermission introduction, Charles Amirkhanian mentioned that an audio recording of the show would eventually be posted at [Other Minds](https://www.otherminds.org].
