近來投入的文字實在不少，只是在別的空間，冷落了這裏。明天出發到台北，要到 2009 年才回來，有空才在這裏回顧一番。

- Ticket Resellers Step Out of the Shadows - NYTimes.com
Once infamous — and in many places illegal — the reselling of tickets for profit has gone mainstream. Accelerated by the Internet and changes in state laws across the country, it is now a multibillion-dollar business serving consumers who want that last-minute ticket to Taylor Swift or “Wicked.” - Facebook | Share Partners
- Will Crutchfield and improvisation in classic music : The New Yorker
That arresting statistic indicates the degree to which classical performances have been standardized over the past century. Many listeners would identify Caruso’s cadenza as the “traditional” one, but Crutchfield, in a forthcoming essay on changing perceptions of operatic style, calls it the “death-of-tradition” cadenza. - Sunday marks 67 yrs since first performance of Leningrad Symphony
August 9, 1942, its rendition by an orchestra under the baton of maestro Karl Eliasberg was broadcast live by Radio Leningrad to listeners inside and outside the besieged city that had survived a most atrocious winter of 1941/1942 amid the catastrophic shortages of absolutely everything and was bracing itself to live through no less dramatic a winter period of 1942/1943.
