Trumpet playing, 2013

Hooray for the dentist!

Visible to anyone in the world

Well, mine anyway as some may not always be so lucky?!approve

Thursday 10th saw me at my dentist - a younger than me lady that is pleasant and of good demeanour (i.e. tolerant of me!) - to have a tooth re-filled. It has been troublesome for over a year and every now and then, for 4 or 5 days, I would have to take some paracetamol to keep the pain at bay. So far so good then, as the dull background ache has gone even if I now have more filling than tooth in this case. The downside being that any ‘flare-up’ would probably mean removal, which is not so goodsurprise. Let’s hope not eh? It even went as far as interfering with my trumpet playing which only added to my woes in this respect!

Talking of my trumpet, I played in church again on Sunday 6th with Karl at the organ and joined in with “We have a gospel to proclaim” (tune Fulda) and ‘Jerusalem’ - that well known hymn by (Sir C.H.) H. Parry from the words by W. Blake. Not such a large congregation on this occasion but the regulars seemingly enjoying proceedings as usual. This more than made up for my dodgy tooth this past month or so… 

My listening time has been spent with: -

Dvorak’s piano concerto (1876);

Bruckner’s symphony 0 ‘Nullte’ (1869);

and (most recently) the 1851 revision of Schumann’s 4th symphony.

All good stuff, as is my progress with MU123 having dispatched the 1st iCMA Yesterday. I have only one or two minor concerns that may need re-visiting, and will now start my attempt at the current ‘main event’ that is TMA 01 of this module…
