Time Travel: A Primer, Lesson 5, CLIMB ABOARD

Please CLICK ON THIS PICTURE to see the lovely details
Simply Execute the Code and CLIMB ABOARD
Dear Class,
A few students have contacted me in regards to challenges following up on yesterday's simple class assignment found in the online class journal. A few simple steps backwards in time shouldn't be that all difficult a task. I think a few of you have not been paying strict attention to the details of this class. Facebook is fine for use at home, but you should not have it running on your laptop during the lecture. However, the Dean of the Time and Space Department, has directed me to provide remedial instruction to those of you dullard- err, I mean those of you well-educated students who cannot complete this simple assignment.
The C language code is, of course, intuitively obvious. Perhaps the hints in the console output below will help you. Remember the fees your parents are paying to send you to college and stay abreast of your reading and homework from now on.
Expecting better results,
Your Professor - The Simple Romantic

The Heart of The Music
Please CLICK ON the picture to see the glorious detailsIt’s been a tremendous pleasure singing right in the 'midst of the Junge Kammerphilharmonie Freiburg I’ve sung with instrumentalists and orchestras before, but they were separated from the chorus, and usually seem to be uninterested in the singers. Here, we are cheek by jowl with a chance to nearly touch each other’s music as it emerges.
The concert master, from my point of view in the middle of the stage, takes on a new role. He doesn’t just lead the strings, he encompasses them. His body and violin lean back toward his section, eyes and bow sweeping back and directing the form for a sea of moving wands.
I’m close enough to watch the blond wind player switch from her clarinet to her piccolo. The first notes tremble out bird-like. Then I eye the French horns as they take their shimmering brass bells in hand. The first mellow notes of their part, resonate in my own body as the notes rise up from my diaphragm into my own instrument.
Wunderbar.
The Concert Master In Rehearsal
