change

As my next birthday approaches I am contemplating a major change. I am thinking that after I finish the next commission--OEDIPUS AT COLONUS--I may take a "sabbatical" from composing and devote myself more thoroughly to painting. This would require some alterations to my life. I would need to find some studio space. I would need to somehow make an exit from the music world, although I doubt many would notice if I weren't around. I am glad I have this to think about. It provides some focus.
