  1. Is there a particular significance for this song or composer with regard to Justice Ginsburg? And where is this filmed and what is the building that keeps being shown? I'm listening to the music AND I'm curious. Fun Fact: I've been learning the second half of this piece during the pandemic (not very quickly or very consistently). Now I want to learn the whole piece!

  2. I chose "Solace" because I think the song sets a beautifully pensive mood appropriate for such a remembrance. I then looked online to find a performance I liked and selected this one by concert pianist Phillip Dyson. I have no idea where it was recorded. The YouTube site does not say.
