I feel the same about this as I did when I left you a comment on DU. Billy's covered the critique, which leaves me in the convenient position of only having to say how much I enjoyed it, how the classiness and classical references wrapped me up in their spell, how even if I did misinterpret this the experience was still wonderful. My one original nit is purely grammatical and pathetically minor: "metronomes" doesn't need an apostrophe on the end.
