I can't believe I haven't posted anything here since early October. Well, I've been very busy at work, and preparing for the song recital on December 4th (which was very successful). I posted a couple of mp3's from that over at the usual place , - for now just the Beethoven sonata I played (Op. 90 in E minor), maybe later some of the songs, if Anja agrees to let me post them. I will try to post a few things here in the near future, but no promises. I guess I do owe some sort of Christmas letter, though with my vacation reports over the past year, it will probably be shorter than the past couple of years.
