This was great to read. I could hear that first note in my head.

Why the violin?

Why now??

...

no, seriously, the violin is a gorgeous instrument, and the sound is capable of containing all the beauty in the world. I wish complete success for you in your endeavor.

Thanks! My long-term goal is to play Bazzini's "La Ronde des Lutins." ("Dance of the Goblins.")

(YouTube example here, if you can get it to load on your computer. If not, just imagine something springy and fast, with lots of trills and bouncing bowing.)

My favourite piece for violin ever, but that's going to take me a while.

*reply got eaten*

I'll download that when I have some time, some day. My dream has always been to play the Adagio in G minor, by Albinoni. I'll link to a youtube example here, but I haven't dl'ed that one either, so I don't know what it sounds like. If it doesn't work... just imagine the most heartbreakingly sad music you've ever heard, on this earth or any other.

*shrugs*

different strokes, I guess..
