Done good again with Kristen yesterday, playing 'la Reine' especially well. My worst deficiency is a tendency sometimes to demonic possession (strange, deliberate-sounding cacophony); Kristen's is not finding and keeping the ictus. Nathless, we did particularly well the 2nd movement theme('la jeune et gentille Lisette')-and-variations, in fact the best we've ever done it. Its being maybe my favourite piece of music in the world might have had something to do with it. So I am not without my sediment of sentiment, and Kristen (believe me) understands that it's nothing to do with her personally. Still, it is good to have been playing the same 100-piece repertoire with the same other person for thirty-three years. 'Twas a perfect Cinco de Mayo.
