Delgani, fugues

This evening I went to a concert by the Delgani String Quartet, playing three pieces with fugues. First there was a fine Haydn piece, then Ives, then Beethoven, which was beautiful and became technically very impressive. I'm not a fan of Ives. I also talked with a very outgoing and lovely woman named Grace, who's affiliated with the university's school of music, and a composer named John. Grace and John were following each of the pieces by reading the sheet music. I asked, and she said it does help make the music more engaging - another tip for how to not have one's mind wander quite so much; another clue for what makes "narrative" immersion different for music and text.
