wonderful quote from Knausgaard:
"The duty of literature is to fight fiction. It's to find a way into the world as it is..."

thinking about, and listening to Jonathan Harvey today:

Proud of my returning adult piano student Miriam today: it's been a long journey, but the Baiser de l'Enfant Jésus (Messiaen Vingt Regards, no. XV) is now close to performance level. Wonderful to teach someone with so much enthusiasm and imagination.
