Another sleepless night

It is 3:20AM and I am wide awake.... ok, let me rephrase that, my brain is wide awake and my eyes are screaming: "let us rest!" This is the second night that I can't sleep... I wonder why? Last night was a concert night, so, that was understandable, but tonight..... What's is wrong with me? Why is it that I can't stop hearing bits and pieces of music in my head? The fights between them are driving me INSANE!!!! These phrases come and go as they please. They combined & mutated themselves into new lines. They even turned into fugue subjects and started developing into some weird fugue. If the end product of all these insanity turns out to be good, perhaps I won't be so troubled by it, unfortunately, that was not the case. On second thought, why didn't Archuduke or the Brahms Quintet lines win the battle and silence the others? Is it really that the great masterworks of the past are loosing their battle? Make them STOP!!!!

On random notes, while sitting in the audience of HSO concert last weekend, these are the words I heard:
"I wonder whether they have some sort of Parking arrangement for all the performers... There are so many of them... If not, they must of picked them all up by buses!"
"How is the conductor going to get through? Is he going to land from the sky?"
"I got the gossips!"
"Are they good? I heard they are good."
"ZZZZ...."
"I normally don't like Opera, but this is not bad!" (The program was Vaughan Williams: Dona Nobis Pace and Beethoven 9th Sym.)
"Did you see X sitting over there?" "I wondered why M is not here today, I saw M earlier today..."
"Oh, this concert is sold out, they must be good! "


Tomorrow, no, today is my big cooking day. I need to make sure that lunch & dinner are ready in time for Peter to eat quickly with his limited amount of time in between his things. Also, cranberry bread for next 2 breakfasts as well as 3 meals for the next two days. What to make besides the cranberry bread???

Finally, I can put the Goldmark Trios aside and move on to other more desirable repertoire:
Brahms Piano Quintet
Beethoven Archduke
Rachmaninoff Elegiaque
P. Schoefield Cafe Music

Ok, it is time to try again.
May all the wonderful music, not so wonderful music and definitely the horrible ones stay away from me when I attempt to go to sleep...
