Pavane pour une infante défunte

Sorry about no post yesterday. Sometimes the world wants more of me than than there is me to go around. I'm prioritizing my physical therapy exercises, which may be the only way my back will get better short of a big operation.

We are back to Art In Bloom. This string quartet always performs in the Great Hall. They are very good. As we approached, I heard them playing Ravel's tender Pavane for a Dead Princess. It helped relieve the crush of the crowd.      

Why The Dancing?

As mentioned, the string quartet performing in the great hall of the art museum is what got Ellie dancing. It wasn't the best circumstances to enjoy the music, unless you found one of the few nearby seats or were four years old and wanted to immerse your body in it. Most people were coming and going and, I'm afraid, treated the musicians as another ornament. I thought they were very good.
