Awakened with, still flowing through remembered dreams, Debussy's ever-friendly Trio Sonata. The first movement unmistakably represents quails mating. In these four measures preceding (1) and the severn preceding (5) a female flute preens serenely among flecks of grain in the gravel, while the stupid male viola struts, roughing his ruff.
