The greats

i feel like since i've started learning the sax, i've come to appreciate more music. i've always enjoyed classical music, but i've never really known of what that consisted. i know the famous names: mozart (even been to his home town!), tchaikovsky, rachmaninoff, etc.

i mention this because i just learned Minuet by Bach, and i'm working on March Militaire by Schubert (hehe, that rhymes). as i turned the page to see what was ahead, other than learning Scarborough Fair :), there was a piece from Antonin Dvorak's New World Symphony. i checked it out on youtube, and you should click here to hear it for yourself. beautiful, no?

any way, today i practiced for an hour and it was really good. in general, i'm on a music kick or something because yesterday i played my guitar, and the day before that, i learned four notes on kendra's trumpet. it's hard for me not to want to become a jill of all trades with musical instruments once i get started. that's kind of like me and languages. hmmm...
