Writing

(A5 exercise book, c. 1968)

Busy cleaning out cupboards, throwing away old papers, finding my childhood lurking in dusty corners.

In the meantime ... what Frank Zappa chose for Castaway's Choice in 1989 (the US version of Desert Island Discs, I assume):

• Octandre by Edgard Varese
• The Royal March from L'Histoire du Soldat by Igor Stravinsky
• The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky
• Third Piano Concerto, first movement by Bela Bartok. (FZ: ``I think it is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written.'')
• Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson
• Three Hours Past Midnight by Johnny Guitar Watson
• Can I Come Over Tonight by The Velours (which FZ would save if only allowed one)
• Bagatelles for String Quartet by Anton Webern
• Symphony, Opus 21 by Anton Webern
