Tell us a little about yourself, who are you, what do you do, how is your life...
I like sleeping in my burrow and eating grass, seeds, leaves, flowers, fruit, eggs, and some insects. Life is pretty good when there are no wolves around.
I'm Erik. I'll be 31 in November. I live in Lakeside, CA. I love music.
My dream is to be able to walk the countryside of Japan while listening to Mahler on an iPod. Then I can die happily.
Wouldn't Austria be more fitting?
I love to ride my bicycle, and though my life has its challenges, it also has many joys and rewards.
I use 3% hydrogen peroxide as a moutwash.

Just so long as you don't eat squirrels in the park and talk to pies. That makes people nervous.
Why is there a thread about You? Why isn't there a thread about Me? Me is more interesting than You is.

Sometimes I dream that space creatures are attacking the Earth. That's kind of Japanese.

Hey they can't help it that you didn't know that we had an entire room just to introduce ourselves. That's not voluntary either, Rob set it up so that you have to before you post in the serious music rooms. Just saying, your thread is a bit redundant. :)

My name is Dana! I'm an on-again/off-again forumite for the past several years who is currently on-again. I first picked up a violin at age four, switched to viola at around age 11, and am currently working on my masters degree at the Eastman School of Music (undergraduate degree earned from the University of Michigan, where I also took courses/lessons in conducting and voice [I'm a bass]). My teachers include Yizhak Schotten, George Taylor, Carmen Pelton, and Stephen West. In my spare time, I enjoy racquetball, reading, and video games. Thank you! :)

Do you like long walks on the beach? ;D
I'm a 22-year-old Bolivian guy. I started listening to classical about 2 years ago. I'm finishing a major in Commerce. I like sushi, pasta and chocolate.

I'm also a tall surfer dude. With a deep tan (they have those, don't they?).
I'm a 50 year-old guy who cherishes his past days...

Ah, yes! Secretary-General of the "You" N.
I want to protest the trend towards serious and thoughtful posting that threatens to appear from time to time. Yes, I know it hasn't happened yet but it might. There's a very real danger that petty frivolity and cosmic narcissism will be displaced entirely by a mature consideration of important subjects, some even related to the ostensible purpose of the board, which I understand has something to do with old music. If we band together now we can prevent this disaster in the making.

I'm with "you." I'm in your age range, having fun and looking forward to more of it.

If you're retired, I could imagine why.
By the time I'm that age, if I am retired, have enough money, and healthy, 65+ plus sounds like some of the best years of my life.
But all 3 of those at the same time actually happening... :-\

China would be more appropriate for listening to Das Lied von der Erde.
Ten facts about Sforzando (in no particular order):
1. As a teenager I had fantasies of becoming a composer, and I was in fact accepted at two major American conservatories to major in musical composition. (I abandoned the fantasy, however, after one year of study at Oberlin in 1966-67).
2. At one point in the 1980s I decided to try composing again, and I wrote some piano music as well as a full-length opera for which I used as a libretto an excellent translation of the Japanese Noh play "Momijigari."
3. For a couple of years now, I have been working on a stage play about the demise of a classical radio station.
4. I take a great interest in almost all the arts except film.
5. The composer who matters to me above all is Beethoven.
6. I have a modest collection of original contemporary art, though I doubt any of the artists I've bought would be known to anyone here.
7. I am a decent cook when I set my mind to it, and I tend to concentrate on Indian, Italian, and Spanish food.
VIII. I weigh much too much, and this fact weighs on me.
9. I will be 61 on 9/11 of this year. On the real 9/11, I had just landed in Rome, Italy, for a spur-of-the-moment trip, one of about a dozen I've made to Europe over the years.
10. My real name is not Sforzando. It is Poco.

Sure, but I don't listen to that one very often. The only one I actually like is the Farewell- especially the ending. Maybe one day, though.
