lost cd, rach 3rd - m argerich


oh where are you my lost friend? under what hoarded mass are you hiding? please, please come back.

there is a point at about 3:34, and again more fully at 3:44, where m. seems to relax and realize that she has just made something very wonderful

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

as i sing madly, quiet. number 2

and yet this is an achievement in it's own right - to come into some peace and acceptance of a madness that at once falls into understanding...

...the transcending step, however, is to befriend this old, persistent enemy - to revere the disgusting - to find it's stifled voice

to control the uncontrollable

to coax keys into lush complexity

to sing of a Lenore sweetly

to sing madly, then quiet
