I enter directly into a fabulous music-instrument realm. It will take considerable suspensions of disbelief to enjoy my fables (since many human-instrument crossovers happen), yet I think it a suitable suspension. To the extent that my music fables are portraits of various music instruments (and composers, conductors, instrument makers), they should confirm what experience has taught and suggest musical allegories newcomers could not imagine. Seen from inside music, from the standpoint of musical instruments, musical compositions have a different reality and a renewed sense of existence.
