## Notes

An evening of Bach seems like an appropriate match to follow [this afternoon's similar program](2019-11-07), eh!? Hard to get too much of ole' JSB!

I thought it was a little curious that SD decided that a segue was called for from the Bach/Busoni chorale into the following keyboard concerto -- perhaps the thinking was "keep going, so that the flow doesn't get interrupted by the banging and hooting of that danged audience."

A good show!
