I don’t have this quite where I want it, but that’s nothing new. What’s different is how much I still want to get it righter. A bit off schedule, though, and gotta take my chances when they come.

To close the Op. 54 Marionetten, Bortkiewicz gives us Kasperl-Harlekin (or “Punch-Harlequin” in English, my sheets say, or “Guignol” en français). In this set, there’s a correlation — but I don’t think causation — between sounds-like-a-marionette and uses-whole-tone-scale.

The next-to-last of the Op. 54 Marionetten is #8, Teddybär (“Teddy Bear”).

Final Marionette tomorrow, a couple more Bortkiewicz pieces over the weekend, and then on to the next phase of this project.

The third from Kindheit (, Op. 39, after Tolstoy’s novel) is Der Vater (“The Father”). Judging by the music, my family’s different. Maman (from a couple days ago) sounds more like me, and this one sounds more like B.

Full couple of days, but whew! I’ve once again avoided ever missing two in a row.

This sweet one, #2 of Bortkiewicz’s Op. 39 Kindheit (“Childhood”), is called “Maman” (“Mama”). The suite is based on the Tolstoy novel. We’ll hear more of it.
