Music for the trip

Music -- taking some with me, and buying some there, will be an integral part of my daily life overseas.

Since I am taking my laptop which is my poetry recording studio, I am ripping a bunch of CDs for this trip. I am in a Beethoven kind of a mood these days -- maybe because it's Fall in NYC, maybe for other reasons.

While in Armenia, I want to buy some Mansuryan recordings; I don't have any of my own, but I have admired his music during concerts. Another Armenian composer I admire is Babadjanian, and I have some pieces of his. Still others to be discovered.
