Day 2. Early evening

One concert so far today: The Arditti Quartet. Excellent, especially The Tree Of Strings. I'm beginning to realise I have no way to relate to this music, except on gut reaction. There were moments with the piece that I completely got an emotional response. I think it's a lack of familiarity with the style of music which is my largest hurdle. So by Tuesday I should be fluent! The overall concert was slightly marred by my coughing fit, for which I apologise to my fellow concertgoers.

Just about to listen to Klangforum Wien do something.
