"When you painted on Earth -at least in you earlier days- it was because you caught glimpses of Heaven in the earthly landscape. The success of your painting was that it enabled others to see the glimpses too." C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce.
I can never quite forget that Mozart completed this piece as he was dying and while also working on the Requiem. There is such peace, such subdued joy in this work, it is truly amazing. Grace (and our responses to it) are both unfreezeable, but if you're going to try, do it well! So I'm posting this just for pleasure and also because I'm thrilled about this radioblog thingy.
