"01d paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes
transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some
pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show
through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog,

a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is
called pentimento because the painter 'repented,"
changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say
that the old conception, replaced by a-later choice,

is a way of seeing and then seeing again." “

--Lillian Hellman, 1973

Hellman's lines typify what my feelings are about this
concert. I've known and played much of this music for
many years. The musical paint has aged now, and I want-
ed to see what there was for me once, as well as what
there is for me now. &
