Walk on the Lawrence Trail,
from San Ramon to Danville --
specifically Paddington,
across
Alamo
Creek,
then
north
to
the
west of it,
in howling winds
(at one point witnessing a branch of coastal chaparral split in a gust).
Return
south
against
the
Diablo
gale,
homeward
circuitously,
gloriously, on the blustery 31st day of fall, high again up 1 to 62 --
Pleasant Hill, 64
San Ramon, 61
Pinole, 67 --
with the edit of page 9 Symphony No. 1 ("It Wasn't Classical…"), Op. 61 (1998): I. Allegro con brio.
Before
all
this,
the way down to meet the
Music Historians for
Review Session III --
Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring: Part I,
Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5: I,
Samuel Barber's Second Essay for Orchestra, and
onward...
