Just to get this off my chest. A rediscovery of love @ age 83.
Despite studying music in college and hating the hours of parsing symphonies, I did learn something.
Now, in old age, I am appreciating those years back in the late 50's, and early 60's.
I know you won't have much interest in this, but I have to share one of the reasons i'm going back to classical music.
The link, below, is to a Beethoven Concert ... Beethoven's 3rd symphony.. The "Eroica".
The reason is to point out the joy of those who have a passion for music in instrumental concerts.
If you have the patience to spend 5 or 10 minutes watching and listening to part of this UTube Concerto, you might understand. Leonard Bernstein conducted this. A man of passion, vibrancy and a true love of music. The very best ever.
I feel like I want to be in the 60+piece orchestra... watching the most exciting conductor of the music world... and giving my all on the flute, violins, oboes or French horn. What a thrill to be part of this.
Don't tell jeanie... the love of my life, in addition to Karen Carpenter, and Sarah Brightman, is also Leonard Bernstein.
