G Minor

Classical non lyrical music is actually beautiful to the ears.  The rhythm and patterns of the notes swiveling and floating gently but meshing with one another is so breathtaking.  Listen, for real.  It's so soothing for the soul, and so brilliant.  I'm doing two papers at the same time right now, and I just had to write a blog.  I haven't written one in so long (on internet journal that is), and I all of a sudden opened up this post and started jotting down.  typing technically.  But this music is pretty inspiring and really makes me want to journal.

I have only a couple of regrets, and the one out of two regrets is that I quit cello.  When I was younger, I had this passion and gift for cello.  Cello by itself is one of my most beautiful instruments I've heard.  The string's melody is so romantic and so immaculate when played correctly.  When I first picked it up in 4th grade, I was learning so fast and was becoming fairly good.  I would practice for three to four hours a day, and only fall deeper in love.  But after high school started and I got into field hockey, I kind of side-tracked and stopped practicing completely.
And after about six years of completely unattenuated to cello, I've suddenly started to miss it.  I'll let this sit in my mind for a year or two, and decide whether I want to get back into the movement of cello again.  I hope it's not impossible to completely neglect an instrument for almost 1/3 of my life and then seek it once more.
Almost like a sad love story? Please listen to this post to Moonlight Sonata by Lloyd-Watts and Ludwig :)
