[from Postsecret] This reminds me of a quote from St. Chrysostomus that I first encountered in the score to Pendrecki’s Die Teufel von Loudun.
Daemoni, etiam vera dicenti, non est credendum
The Devil, even when he speaks the truth, cannot be believed.

The Violin Sonata is coming along very nicely, despite massive setbacks.  The first two movements are done, minus editing, and the remainder of the piece is in contemplation.

Finished Beatus Vir, the 10-hour epic for two pianos, and am now seeking out a venue in the Boston area that has two pianos and will let me have it for long enough to play the entire piece.
