I'm a mere four measures away from completing my fourth movement bringing the thesis to about ten and a half minutes. I should finish it tomorrow, so I'll post an MP3 of how it sounds so far. Apparently the average sound card doesn't do justice to the extramusical effects I'm using.

By the way, the library now has a copy of The Muse that Sings. If you were interested in the book but didn't want to pay the high price right away, you should check it out.
