Unwinding
Ahh… writing is still
one of the most splendid ways to unwind opposed to playing an
instrument or reading, considering that the latter requires absorbing
rather than just releasing. So here is another blog entry with no other
intent but for me to unwind.
The past several weeks have been a mélange of hectic schedules, nerves, and extreme fun, and through the grace of God, these totaled to a superb Afternoon Sonatina recital finale. The Rachmaninov Rhapsody
went surprisingly smooth, and we were especially blessed with the
presence of my lovely violinist friends (sisters to be more precise)
from PPP. Of course, it was different
without Franz this year, but that does not mean that we were not able
to have gaiety and wonderful togetherness. Tonet,
Reji, and Princess are beautiful musicians, beautiful souls, beautiful
hearts, beautiful minds, beautiful faces, and although they’ll forever
be close to my heart, I can only wish to be always close to them in
distance.
This afternoon, I watched another sunset illuminated by the aura of nostalgia and thanked God once again for love, life, and music… for because of Him; I am truly living a lovely, musical life.
Behold, my favorite Afternoon Sonatina shots.
Haydn Concerto in D Major
Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
Sammartini Sonatas, Bach “Quadruple” Concerto
All for one… and one for all!
The musical bows that frame us.
