Yay

Performed a Bach hymn today for service.

Both the B minor mass and the St. John Passion are being performed today in my city. Unfortunately at the same time and different locations.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Tough choice; which one did you attend?

Shame on me.

I attended neither. Opted to practise as I am playing services all week long.

I was leaning toward the St. John if I were to go.

I've always heard that quote attributed to Beethoven.
