March 18 - Desparate Times


The news just seems to be getting worse and worse, but perhaps the repertory of

Romantic II (2. Bizet to Debussy)

can provide some diversion.

Schubert to Bizet]) + Quiz 8 as jpg or pdf attachment my home (mus21stc@gmail.com) or school (on markalburgermusichistory blog syllabus) email address (either way it comes to the same inbox).

Wishing you fortitude and joy, safety and sanity!
