wish I could make it. creation is a great piece.

yes, it's too bad that different concerts, competitions (i don't like them for the competition but the playing), and all, couldn't be a click away.  i suppose some are, but most are not.

they are probably singing in German since it is at Moravian college.  i find the music quite hilarious in spots (kind of like carnival of the animals) and haydn quite a creative mind.  i used to think he was nice but 'boring.'  i've since decided he's quite the genius, too, though he didn't hold music in his head like mozart and took about 2 years to complete this piece (laboring quite extensively over it with many sketches).

2 years may not be that bad. It depends on how many other pieces he composed during that same time. I mean if he worked on that piece for like 5 hrs a day and it still took 2 years then that would be bad.

thanks!  you are helping me think linearly.  you see, i just complained under the jealousy thread (slightly jealous of people who can think linearly) that i not only take one fact and elaborate on it, but fail to question the fact with more facts.  who would have thought.  ok. maybe i need a philosophy class (or would that compound the problem?)

maybe if we wore a hat when we were younger and it had a red and blue siren (like a police car) that went off every time we were expounding an unproven 'fact' we would learn to question the facts more.  i don't like statistics that much, but i am realizing that you have to prove what you say in grad school (unlike what you tell your children - simplified version and very misleading).  my three year old happens to be asking very pointed questions lately.  am wondering if she will automatically be more 'linear.'
