The first two sessions of this year's protracted virtual marathon were unbelievably great.  What are the chances this one won't be?  For you mainstreamers, there's Jeremy Denk (OK, playing Ligeti) (so you don't have to be afraid there'll be absolutely no one you've heard of) (since god forbid you should ever hear anything you don't already know).  For everyone else (i.e., people who like art more than comfort), there's, well, the rest of the 6 hours (which is not to say that the kind of people who read this List won't know most of these participants).  Bliss.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I see us spending the day sipping Fort Tilden Coolers:  pour 1 oz. each of Gin and Fino Sherry, 3/4 oz. each of lemon juice and Simple Syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of Absinthe into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a Highball or Collins glass over ice.  Top with club soda.  Garnish with an orange twist.
