This beautiful and haunting quartet was composed in Theresienstadt. The composer was later murdered in Auschwitz.

A friend came over for dinner. It was his birthday, so I gave him venison with dauphinoise; cherry cake and custard. We fell to talking about Brahms PC1. This is still *it*. What a mensch Brahms was, listening through this to the man.

Had the supreme pleasure of seeing John Adams conduct at the NY PHIL last night. Wonderful program included Part, Copland, Gabriella Smith (who introduced her piece) and the man himself, Adams, conducting his symphonic work City Noir. Joyous.
