[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

Maybe I will listen to another one of your compositions tomorrow, the Viola Sonata was excellent; did you compose anything for solo piano too?

Spent the last 4 hours or so listening to 5 different performances of Schumann 4 for the 'Blind Comparison' thread, and enjoyed every single second of it! I love that symphony so much!

Good Night everyone! :)

I'm listening to the sound ... of silence.

I've been watching a couple of movies today, no music.    ;D

Now listening to Vaughan Williams box Symphonies (Haitink). Nearly finished with symphony no. 2. First time I've ever liked it and I hear so many details this time. I am happy with this purchase after spending so much time deciding (thanks Sarge and all you Haitink supporters)! Though, I am going very slowly through it..

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
