USMC1960s

Originally joined around 2007 or 2008 but had trouble with my computer after a couple of years and had to start over again years later. I've learned a lot here and am still amazed at the breadth of knowledge of classical music here. But I suppose a sizeable percentage of the members are professional musicians. I've always wondered what appropriate percentage that is. Even after coming back on the forum, I took another break for no particular reason. But I'm obviously back again--and still learning.

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

So welcome ... to the machine.
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."
