1171 - A night at the Bridgewater Hall

I’m sitting in my complimentary seat
The orchestra in place, now warming up
Mobile on silent; coughers all be quiet
Please let me hear the music from the top

Ride, Prokofiev’s Lt. Kijé
Straight away, you are recognisable
Mozart’s 9th Piano Concerto: play,
Young man! Three encores. Then, the interval

We waited for Dvorak’s 5th, warming up
After a fag break in the cold night wind
His lively progressions soar to the top
Then plunge back down, restless as the night wind

A good programme, watched for free, among old
And young alike. Then out into the cold
