also coinkidentallies ... erm, coincidentally the morning that a math summer program I used to go to, ended each summer (http://www.hcssim.org - oh, my bad- they end on the 11th now. The 17th is and was an important number though at that program and otherwise-

(I also went to two concerts at Tanglewood during my second summer there, just before my first year at college. That ended up meaning very much to me. My first and last as I remember live Mahler concert, though not a good one... I became a "Mahler fan" a few months later :) ...)
so--
spending the morning working now on the third flute/piccolo (one player, who takes both parts) line of the Frankel symphony movement I mentioned yesterday.
Frankel's music is described in some detail, with a worklist and some RealAudio samples of complete movements, at the website
Benjaminfrankel.org. (Including one from the 5th symphony, and another from the earlier violin concerto, dedicated to the memory of the 6 Million. Some recent works dedicated to the memories of other recent events might cause one to look cross-eyed at a piece so inscribed, but I suggest giving it a chance...)
