   This is a beautiful symphony- I’m going to listen to it a few times before writing ❤️

     Yeah, I love the whole symphony but thought this movement was particularly evocative.

       Alongside returning to writing, I recently began piano lessons (last played piano four decades ago).
       My instructor, Rob, is great. I played a BABY version of this piece. In typical Spicy Ginger fashion I played WAY too fast. Rob interrupted mid-note… “Wait! Wait! Wait!” and had me listen to several minutes of the symphony. This was two weeks before you posted it, so I was delighted to see this here!

   “Don’t touch that
   You’ll go blind
   Those two reeds
   Will steal your sight”

   Then let me be blind
   From the cacophony
   That I see everywhere

   Let me hear
   Sunlight
   Through detached retinas

   Feel dew
   on my soles, with the souls
   that taste it too

   Solid strings, solid ground
   The underpinning of the
   World I want

   This new world
   Now old, barren

   The New World
   Springs life, as always

   Oh you Blind old players
   Your instrument has taken so much
   and through those dark eyes
   I see it all

   Thank you
