First, we will explore the secret chiaroscuro world of Mozarts C major

piano sonata. This tiny piece has got it all: twinkling stars, jumping mice,bees knees, kids playing shadow tag, and laughing codettas. And thatsbefore we even get to the development! And the recapitulation is a chefdoeuvre of more shadows and echoes and symmetry. After all, thatswhat we expect from the masterMr. Mozart.

Second, we will take up a Creeley poem that beats the pants off anycrossword puzzle in existence. We want to tune up your thinking cap!Do NOT miss this one. By the way, dont even think about checking yourears or your brains at the dooryoull need them, believe me!
