I ran through all my scales today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) - first time for a long time; at least since last year's Grade 8 preparations - all 156 of them, in a row. Good job they were played on my Clavinova with headphones on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have played scales since last year, but not the whole lot, like in the good old days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

At the university? Local college?

Have you read any of Richard Dawkins' books on the subject? Forget all his controversial polemic regarding religion, his books on evolutionary biology are gems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well remembered! I'm sure I'd never remember so many a whole year after learning them. I haven't made much progress on my scales recently. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The ones I know are getting more fluid, but there are too many left to learn!

A wonderful opening concert for the Beverley Chamber Music Festival, by the Cropper/Welsh/Roscoe Trio. It culminated in a magnificent, and very moving, account of Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50. A rarely heard work. Six more concerts, plus masterclasses, to go before Sunday.

Sounds lovely, oldnotes. I hope you enjoy the rest of the concerts too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What will make me happy is listening to the first programme in a new series of In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg, later this morning at 9.00 am on Radio 4. Why?

.... because the topic discussed will be IMAGINARY NUMBERS ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yay.gif)
