>> THE TWO OF US WERE PLAYING SINCE BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED ARE WE PLAYED THE A MAJOR SO HE WANTED GNAW AND CONTINUED OUR COURTSHIP THROUGH DEBUSSY.

SINCE THAT TIME AND SINCE WE NOW HAVE THREE LOVELY DAUGHTERS WHO HAVE TAKEN UP A GOOD CHUNK OF OUR OTHERWISE PERFORMANCE TIME, OUR PLAYING TOGETHER HAS BEEN KIND OF A THING WE DO FOR FUN AS A KIND OF A LEASE -- A RELEASE FROM EACH OF OUR INDIVIDUAL CONCERT ACTIVITIES.

I WOULD GUESS THAT WE PROBABLY PLAY TOGETHER, WHAT, MAYBE SEVEN OR EIGHT TIMES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

IN A SEASON?

SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE.

IT IS EXPERIMENTS, A CHANCE TO TRY OUT SOME PIECES THAT ARE NEW TO US, A CHANCE TO EXPLORE SOME COMPOSERS WHO WE MIGHT BE UNABLE TO EXPLORE IN OTHER THINGS.

BUT IT'S A REAL -- IT'S ALMOST LIKE A HOBBY.

WE LOVE TO DO IT, AND WE DO IT A LOT.

WERE BUT WE TRY TO KEEP IT AS MH OUR OWN PRIOR TO KIND OF THING AS WE CAN.

IS THE WAY IT WORKS.

>> THE SECOND PIECE IS THE WALK HARPSICHORD VIOLIN SOANT -- SONATA, E MAJOR, NUMBER THREE, HAS FOUR MOVEMENTS.

A MAGNIFICENT FIRST MOVEMENT.

THE SECOND MOVEMENT STARTS OUT LIKE AN FUGUE BUT MARKED ALLEGRO.

>> IT'S A FUN, ALMOST SILLY PIECE WHEN IT STARTS.

VERY STRANGE.

>> THE THIRD MOVEMENT IS AN ANDANTE.

IT REMINDS ME OF THE CONTATAS, VERY MELODIC.

THE LAST MOVEMENT IS A PRESTO WITH A SUPER AMOUNT OF ENERGY.

>> IT'S ONE OF THE SONATAS WITH HARPSICHORD.

WHEN I SAW THAT, I REMEBER THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT, I AM THINKING OF SOME PICCOLO PARTS, THAT MEANS PLAY IT, IF YOU CAN.

WHAT THIS PIECE WOULD BE WITHOUT IT A HARPSICHORD, I DON'T KNOW BUT IT TURNS OUT IT HAS ANOTHER MEANING WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT ON THE HARPSICHORD.

YOU CANNOT PLAY IT ON THE ORGAN, WHICH IS VERY CLEAR BECAUSE, WHEREAS I AM PLAYING ONE LINE, GAIL IS CONSTANTLY PLAYING TWO COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT MELODIC PARTS.

SO IT'S REALLY A TRIO FOR TWO PEOPLE.

AND I THNK THAT IT'S THE ONLY SET OF PIECES IS THE ONLY KIND OF MUSIC FOR THE VIOLIN, KEYBOARD DUO THAT HAS SUCH COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE.

THE AN ASTONISHING CREATION.

BACH KEEPS DOING THINGS.

THEY ARE GLORIOUS BY THEMSELVES, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT MAKES IT UP, IT'S JUST ALL I CAN THINK OF IS IT BLOWS YOUR MIND.
