Finishing a Piece of Music

It feels great to finish a piece of music! It is satisfying to know that all the notes are in their proper places, but it is also a relief because I won't have to have this piece for oboe and strings, as much as I like it, running through my head all the time (especially when I'm trying to sleep). I'm hoping that the magic of the US postal system will allow it to leave my head; that tomorrow's mail carrier will have magical powers to give me a bit of silence before I start thinking about my next piece.
