“Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form.”
Plato

Instructive and Cautionary Stories from Musical Life




Other Stories from Musical Life



     




   
   
   One of my readers, a former student, found a few typos in the first edition of my collection of autobiographical stories (sigh). What can I say? Everyone needs an editor. So, I looked at it yet again and made a few changes. Those of you who already have the first edition should hold on to it, perhaps have it bronzed, because one day it will undoubtedly be very valuable.

Your re-colored cover is also a nice improvement. It is correctly the color of grapefruit. Pink also brings the idea of romance with music. I guess green is the color of life and that was your first idea on the draft. Also it should be noted that the cake recipe is the European version with no shortening and therefore more dry and less tender than American version. Just add a couple tablespoons Crisco and you'll be fine. Adjust consistency of dough as you need.
