MARK ALBURGER, 2022: July 16

Begin

The Four Temperaments, Op. 402 (July 16, 2022)

with

I. Choleric

this piece having been in mind for decades, as a coda to

Animal Farm, Op. 76 (1999),

and, like that, variations on the 36-bar structure (but pretty much not content) of

Leslie Bricuse (1931-2021) - Dr. Dolittle (1967): IV. Talk to the Animals,

the inspiration now finally being hearing for the first time in a long time

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) - Symphony No. 2 ("The Four Temperaments"), Op. 16 (1902)

and taking only a modest additional cue from

Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) - The Four Temperaments (1940).

Also take up the somewhat Herculean task of re-vamping the website entry for

Psalms, Book I, Op. 172 (2009),

plus edit page page 23

Piano Concerto ("Child's Play"), Op. 122 (2004)
     I. Allegro

and sleep on it, text-wise, so to speak, vis a vis

Book of Dreams, 2022, Op. 376 (2022)
