It seems to me that there is something deeply true about performing this in your home, on the family piano (as it were), "among" and for friends, whether new or old. I imagine Grannie sitting in the corner knitting, not needing to follow the printed words as she has known them from girlhood and can mouth them with you. All are present for a poetry reading with music. WHAT poetry! WHAT music! And what a glorious rendering into time and space!

Thank you so much! Marvelous in so many ways.
Wunderschön....vielen Dank ❤️
Plans for more? Liederkreis, op 39, perhaps?
Soon I hope!
