If you have ever attended a 'live' performance of Beethoven's 9th symphony(he had been deaf many years before this was written) YOU HAVE TO PINCH YOURSELF AND ASK.....How could anyone during that time period ever compose a piece like that!!!!!!!
Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding
I just took a musical bath. I listened, for the umpteenth time, to Puccini's La Boheme. I can't begin to understand how someone could ever create such a thing of beauty. There are many 'songs' that compete in their individual beauty, but no other opera, play, or body of singing that even comes close, for me. You?
