Entry #54

Listening to:

Shostakovich, Six Romances on words by Japanese poets, op 21 for tenor and orchestra. The current poem is called An immodest glance and reads (in English):

The green and slender willow
had her swaying trunk laid bare,

when the wind blew
and played with your light dress.

Racy stuff, classical music, you know!
