Theory dictation and board harmony is Giuseppe Verdi's Triumphal March from Act II of Aida, plus diminished seventh chords and their ambiguity (as well as that of the augmented triads) -- we break slightly early under slightly difficult conditions -- better luck next time -- then a blitz to the bank and lunch/lot-o-paper-grading at Peking-Tokyo followed by


evening class of late Baroque from J.J. Fux through Antonio Vivaldi, G.F. Handel, J.S. Bach, and Domenico Scarlatti --



folks really doing quite well on the

calmly getting ready for Classical



next week. A third orchestrated page of The Gospel According to St. Matthew: XVIII. Two Blind Men before the little death.
