Avery Fisher, Schubert & Brahms



In the third act, a pen emerged and notes were taken in turns.

Schödinger's Cat was referenced, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was intended.

When we hear Brahm's piano concerto #1, thoughts and images flow freely from unknown recesses of the mind. In cherishing them so much, we long to record them, to draw them, to blog them. But, the very act of concentrating enough to remember or taking out a pen and paper defeats the moment. What is recorded is no longer real. You can know only one or the other, recording or experiencing, but not both simultaneously. Which is more valuable, the moment or the history?
