Rameau-Les Sauvages

I went home after I last wrote, and had a light breakfast. Then I got stuck into volume four of Edward Walford's London Recollected and found myself in a sort of limbo, where I felt neither awake nor asleep. I soon got fed up with that, so came back to the library to continue my memwahs.
After I got home last night I heard a dreadful cacophony and some loud crashes. When I looked out of the window, two nomadic adults looked on gleefully as a nomadic youngster kicked the side of every car he walked past. Lovely, I don't think. Then I thought of a piece of ballet music (also transcribed for harpsichord by the composer) by Rameau, entitled 'Les Sauvages'. I know which particular Sauvages I prefer.
