In the original novel, Aschenbach is a writer. For the film, Visconti changed it to composer in order to lard things out with Mahler in the score. Ironically, in the 1977 opera, Britten (a gay composer) returned to the original story and made Aschenbach a writer once more. ;-)

Ish awakens quite often to go.

to this website he’ll creep,
for a similar nocturnal flow…
(boorish gests are a sibling’s privelege!)

Steinway is doing largely the same thing now with it’s ‘Spirio’ pianos, semi-experimentally accruing digital performances by selected up-and-coming pinaists at a handful of top ranked conservatories. The recitals are live, and the digital playback files are available to purchasers of the pianos equipped for it.
Basically they record the recital on the piano’s action from the inside. (and of course it doesn’t require a sound isolation cabin for a steam operated device as apparently the old forsetzer technology did…!)

The Congresswoman felt sure the tinfoil hat would protect her from The Aliens’ mind control, but was still very afraid that “Jewish space lasers” might burn a hole in it…

Everyone at the Zoom meeting was amused when auto-spell introduced them as Regents and Regrets of the Leprechauns Asylum…
Among these we might see an Earl,
who feels undue urgings to hurl,
And even a Duke
might violently puke
on Milady, who’ll call him a churl.
