And lo! on the fourth day of enforced vacation, I finally turn to the cello sonata.

I’m forcing myself to be happy with the development as it stands. I have stitched it to the recapitulation and rounded that off to head into a coda. So now all I have to do is plaster over the joint leading into the recap, and to figure out how to stick the lead-in to the recap onto the end as a coda. Simple enough.

First, however, lunch. Then errands, during which I’ll listen obsessively to what I’ve got in the van. I’ll report back here later.

update: At the end of the day, I had finished off the joint and gotten the coda where I wanted it. I have a very solid idea of what to do to finish the whole thing up. I should have it done by Monday.
