Listen to the assigned selections in the music library. The recordings
are on reserve for K506 and available in Variations. Jot down some notes
about the selection before the class whose date appears in the Due
Date column. You'll hand this in to me, and we'll discuss
the piece during that class.
NOTE: Make sure the mono/stereo switch on the library headphone amp is OUT, so that you hear in stereo!
