Since it is Easter...

Tradition says Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus exit the tomb.

Mary Magdalene's history was diminished & contorted by the church to serve its policies of male dominance & subjugation of women. What can an artist do but retaliate with art? In this case, I wrote a fast frailach in her honor.

I explain her story:

I see a lot of grumpiness and despair in my feed and, yes, from time to time I feel that, too.
One of my "safe havens" is music, as you know, and today I recorded this short #piano piece by Louise Farrenc for you.
"Impromptu", played on my 1909 Trautwein upright piano (will be tuned soon).
Maybe you'll find that comforting, or enjoyable, or at least distracting.
