 The following cello concerto by CPE Bach is likewise excellent, and I particularly appreciate the fine woody tone of Wyrick's instrument. I am in a perfect spot to hear and watch him play, yay! The following cello concerto by CPE Bach is likewise excellent, and I particularly appreciate the fine woody tone of Wyrick's instrument.

-I found the CPE symphony that opened the second set to be the least of this afcternoon's choices. Not that there was anything I disliked about it, only that I enjoyed the other works a bit more. Might have been due to a wandering state of mind on my part -- I was surprised when they started the piece, and also at the transition to the final movement. And I wasn't even snoozing, jjust a little distracted. Wool-gathering somewhere inside my head instead of paying attention to the main event.+I found the CPE symphony that opened the second set to be the least of this afternoon's choices.

And I wasn't even snoozing, just a little distracted. Wool-gathering somewhere inside my head instead of paying attention to the main event.
  
-The final work on today's program, the cantata _XX_ was quite an interesting piece. First off, it's one of very few pieces titled as a cantata by papa Bach -- our modern reference to many of his works by that moniker is an appellation awarded after the fact. Secondly, this piece is also unusual in that their is no choir part. Thus the innner chorale sections are presented as soloist with reduced chamber accompaniment. I really enjoyed these parts, as the contrast and play of interlocking melodic lines is all the more apparent when stripped bare of harmonic accompaniment.+The final work on today's program, the cantata _XX_ was quite an interesting piece.

-I should also comment on the excellence of the two soloists. CS was particularly distracting, wearing a spangly, clinging red evening gown, and it was difficult to resist watching her whenever she sang. Must be that same old response to the siren's call! MI played only during the first and final movements, but he did so admirably, working entirly from memory and discharging his duty in dazzling fashion.+I should also comment on the excellence of the two soloists.

 It was a little awkward fitting today's matinee into my schedule, but I'm glad I did, it was great fun! It was a little awkward fitting today's matinee into my schedule, but I'm glad I did, it was great fun!
