S3/E6 Facebook Gestalt

In E3 I said that I planned to favor this forum over Facebook moving forward with discussion of my op. 91. Yet, when I finished engraving the first of three sections in the long Act I, Scene 2 (the very last one, as I have said, still in need of engraving), I posted the video I made therefrom with commentary there, but nothing here. And again, when I recently finished engraving the middle section, I posted the video I prepared from it only on Facebook. At some point I realized that I wanted to have the chronicle there be complete. And indeed, once I finish engraving the shortest, final section of this longest of the opera’s scenes, that will be it for the Facebook phase to my ongoing documentation!

Essentially then, my S3 entries up to now have served to smooth the transfer of the intermittent discussion there to here. I will still go about distilling the Facebook verbiage and hyperlinks into an independent WordPress experience. But right now I need to bring the latest materials to the fore.

I have established that scrolling videos were available for every scene but the second of Act I. The latter is so long that I divided its videography into the three study sections alluded to above. My first catch-up, then, is to paste in the Vimeo link to the video for the first section, and to quote my Facebook commentary.

“The opera’s longest scene is set in the marketplace of Ahlat, on Lake Van’s coast.”

And now, my latest finished work, the subsequent, middle section of the same scene. It begins with just the single, upbeat note in the second flute on the far right of the screen.

“In this pivotal section, Avedis and Tamara meet and fall in love.”
