A line from the film Amadeus - Extraordinary! On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse - bassoons and basset horns - like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly - high above it - an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing a voice of God.
Hot and humid at Central Park last night...the excerpt above came to me while I was laying down, looking up at the sky, listening to the NY Philharmonic and for a few moments forgot that I was sitting in a park in the middle of the worlds greatest city.
