The pianist who played the recital last night was Tatiana Rubina, an associate professor and "People's Artist of Russia" at the Moscow Conservatory, so it's not surprising that she was an absolute MASTER of the piano. Every key was struck with exactly the right force at exactly the right time to produce a very musical experience. Melodies and counter-melodies soared and ebbed precisely as they should. It was a true pleasure to watch and hear. Unfortunately, David was too tired to go, so I put him to bed and went by myself.
My sleep was somewhat spotty last night. In the end, I think I got enough, but I wasn't able to get up in time to go out for a walk.
I was scheduled for only 8 units of Berlitz lessons, and half of them, in fact, turned out to be no-shows: 10:30-12:00, 12:00-1:30, 4:00-5:30 (no-show), and 5:45-7:15 (also no-show).
I ordered food for lunch from Buddha Burgers and then drove down and picked it up. We ate at home.
