So today I bought myself some sexy new Beats by Dre headphones! And I am in LOVE!! The sound is amazing. Which just makes the music sound fantastic. But that's not entirely what this post is about...I just started reading the soloists...which has me longing for my cello even more! I N.E.E.D. my music back in my life! Reading about this man who loves his music that much makes my heart hurt from the yearn of my own. So I was inspired buy 2 things: 1. This quote: Next Comes Ernest Bloch's Rhapsody for Cello , which begins as a slow, poetic lament. Nathaniel's bow is a fluid and obdient slave, his fingers dancing ballet on the fresh-varnished neck, and the music cuts him off from noise, worry, fear, illness." This is how I feel when I play. I can't wait to have this back. 2. I listened to probably one of my favorite Classical pieces Montagues and Capulets by Sergey Prokkofiev! The headphones almost make me feel like I'm playing again! It's awesome!
