A Saturday morning

[ironymaiden]

sometime this summer, a classical trumpeter moved into my building (or the one across the street). Their tone is excellent, so hearing them practice is quite pleasant, especially since it bears the sense-memory of waiting for the symphony or opera to begin.

i've been on the balcony with my spinning, enjoying the fine day and listening to an audiobook of The Letter of Marque. plus the aforementioned trumpet. and the occasional dog singing along.

it's more pleasant than you might think.

That's awesome! We have a pianist, and I'm delighted to share a building with the arts.

a trumpet right next door would likely get a little much after a while, but a trumpet from a distance could be quite delightful :-) (you're aware that some orchestral works call for "off-stage trumpet"?)

What a lovely way to spend the morning. Your musician neighbor sounds to be at the exact right distance for joy rather than frustration.
