Inner form

So while listening to Mozart - Wolfgang Amadeus Concerto (Violin) N3 in G Major- K216, performed by James Ehnes, Mozart Anniversary Orchestra, I picture a Chipping Sparrow, with its violin-coloured cap, hopping across the awning I'll never have. Thanks, CBCMusic. Red stripe, beige stripe, red stripe, and on it goes, hopping across the fabric at an angle like there's nothing to it. Now during the Brandenburg Concerto N4, Bwv 1049, 1Er Mvt performed by Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Jeanne, the sparrow hops into the willow. Or onto, I suppose. One could argue for both. It's windy. About to rain. The sparrow gazes at each catkin as Stradivari does his handiwork in that painting by Edgar Bundy. You know the one. The tilt is identical. It takes no imagination to figure out where the sparrow's going.
