Vivaldi's violin concerto in A Minor is one of my favorite pieces. It is difficult for me, not in so much that the piece itself is difficult (technically, Bach's The Chaconne is a much more difficult piece and I learned it over 5 years ago), but rather that it is hard to elicit the correct emotional draw from a piece without the accompanying instruments. I no longer have the instructor that I had who would accompany on the piano, and I have cycled through instructors every 6 months since leaving Hogwarts. I do wish I could find someone who would challenge me.
Not, mind you, that I do not have so much to learn! I
do. But I do not believe a single person can challenge me the way a group of musicians would. However, I do not have the time to indulge myself with my music, and therefore I suppose I shall continue to cycle through instructors.
I am glad the spring is coming. I am desperate for weather that is not dreary and gloomy. I believe that people, as well as plants and flowers, thrive in the spring and summer. Perhaps the world will not be so cold, and people so cold to one another, when there is not such a chill in their bones.
Perhaps I will see if my darling sister would host a tea with me on the grounds once the warm weather is secure. I believe we could all benefit from being touched by the sun; though I simply
must remember to wear a hat as I burn so easily. Perhaps I shall go and buy a hat soon - I
do so love them
and it is easier to hide behind them.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good milliner? I am afraid mine has retired the craft and now I am left without a suitable substitute.
