on the eve of jury

Today was my day off. Tomorrow it will be over.

Why did the Kremeratica Baltica feature in the so-called Mosaic Series at Eastman to play yet more Beethoven, Schumann, and Korngold? They threw in Piazzolla as a bone at the end, but let's face it, spectacular as he is, Piazzolla isn't all that edgy. And I've decided that Kremer must be quite an insufferable megalomaniac for running the ensemble the way he does (and from the way he dominates the ensemble's bio).

Then again, am I so different from him? I want campanological rather than string minions. At heart, we're all the same. We all want minions.
