We're going December 12, he'll be with the S.F. Symphony. :)

as in "PDQ Bach"? Now that's a blast from the past

A blast on a left-handed sewer flute, no doubt. Or perhaps a tromboon, or a double-reed slide music stand, or a windbreaker.

This evening on All Things Considered I heard a segment on the beta test of a system that downloads concert notes to your PDA, so you can read about the music while it's being played. The selection they used as a music bed for the segment was the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth, and as soon as it began I flashed on the Professor's "New Horizons in Music Appreciation" piece.

"Would you call that a theme or a motif, Bob?" :-)
