Hello boys,
I only have nine ratlings to distribute in the interval (we can see the effect of the walnut patina of ropes):
I also finished the very simplified score that I spoke to you about a few time ago, and the most wonder of this
is that removing the useless details is enough to increase the strength of rest for get at this unexpected result :
Musical sketch (piano)
As soon as it was published, I received this appreciation, which comforts me in this difficult job :
“Very delicate music, and beautiful research in counterpoint”

All those shrouds and ratlines... That's what's holding me back in building a ship from that era, the neverending monk's work of installing shrouds and ratlines.
To those who tell me that I have the patience of a benedictine monk, I say as a joke ::
