Home Stretch

Notes from the Berkshires, Day 57

Bernstein Performer’s Pavillion, 10.36 a.m.

Made it through the weekend without managing to post, which might indicate business, but in fact was simply due to a combination of laziness and not being near an internet connection. It was a good weekend, with a long run on Saturday afternoon prior to a very enjoyable team dinner at our apartment, and, other than a Berry Mountain hike and a couple of weissbiers at the Olde Forge, Sunday was a do-nothing day. Much needed.

We rotate pianos for the home stretch today, and so this morning I checked on my highest-profile instruments, doing a bit of maintenance (more sostenuto issues, of course) and some tuning.

A very cool experience on Saturday, when I was working on regulating the action on the A in the Chamber Music hall. The side was wide open:



And my background music was the BSO and chorus rehearsing the Brahms Requiem in the Shed. One of those “am I really here, doing this?” moments.
