Mundane News

[Gravity Aided]

It's odd but, not knowing the piece, I listened to it and thought I heard some early Bernstein. Did Bernstein count Elgar as an influence?

I think his early influences were Dmitri Mitropoulos and Aaron Copland. Bernstein, probably under Mitropoulos' tutelage, was the man who brought the music of Mahler back to audiences in the 60's and 70's. I believe he was buried with a score of Mahlers' 5th symphony.

Mundane day today - nothing to report of exception. Went to work, did something, came home, shower & shave, cooked & ate tea,* put the recycling bin out, read CycleChat.

More of the same tomorrow. I don't care how dull it is, sometimes mindless routine is good.

How strong do you make it, I drink mine!

Lovely quiet nocturnal ride after work.. Midnight start.. 🌃
I didn't see evidence of one single person (apart from condensation on the inside of a car window by Pitsford Res... How does that happen at half past midnight )
I did have to swerve round a badger, though, and many many wabbits!!
Only 8 miles, but most calming..

That's my favourite tree in the background 🤗

Grabbing an early turbo session some light clouds just waiting for the sun to appear.
Another 15 minutes before I get a 🍵

Not a bad morning, going in the van today so I shall see what the traffic is like
