I have an inclination to dodge it, but the mental control to wade steadily in. So what if two girls come undone up in the far balcony at the Rach 3? It's a tremendous tribute to the artists and to Rachmaninoff, and a thing shared with those who know. Aside from that, it'll be indistinguishable from an empty concert hall. I can't wait. I've never been to a concert with someone who gets it the way I do. I have a kind of nervous anticipation with that concert as I do with my exam. I like that both will test me well.

It knocks my socks off every time." Well stated! I know about the dance thing-- having a mother who loves and lives dance allows me to see a lot of it. Such expression... it not only knocks my socks off, I actually get tears in my eyes. One thing I'm aware of in seeing Rach 3 played is that I might just cry from happiness because at some point, deep emotive-intellectual happiness response just overflows overwhelmingly. I was sort of close to that crying-point listening to Itzhak Perlman last night, which kind of undid me for a bit. :) “There is no finer tangible thing than a human body coupled with an unharnessed human spirit.
