How handy that I just had my Fugue breakthrough, because I just found out that at next Saturday's wedding on Great Diamond Island, the bridal party wants to process to Air on the G String, played by solo violin.
Wow, I didn't think it was possible, but there's actually something worse than being asked to play the Pachelbel Canon on solo violin; the Canon at least has moving notes. But thanks to my big breakthrough, I am now willingly making up a version of Air on the G String that is pretty faithful to the melody while adding bits of the harmony and bass line once in a while for some harmonic structure and rhythmic pulse. It sounds good and--miracle of miracles--it actually feels good to play, too. Yay! I'm so captivated by it that I'll probably go practice it right now in my sliver of time between weddings.
