Per my earlier post, here is my preferred version of "Why Patterns?"—infused with human pondering, emotion, forgetfulness...breaths held and breaths released. It makes sense to me, in general, to favor renderings of 20th Century music that actually feature the composer as performer and/or conductor (perhaps because my orientation is so rooted in 60s/70s rock.)
