New member here... ???
Been a long time listener of art music. Play classical guitar and dabble with the violin. Just wanted to say hello!
Welcome to GMG, ClassicFan!
Lots of music to ponder here regardless of your inclination. I have only been here for about three months, but have had a great time reading, listening and posting. So much to explore..... :)
Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll have a nice time here!
Welcome and have fun!
I am violin-dabbler as well. My previous avatar was a picture of me playing the violin, but I changed it for Ligeti's birthday today. I think I'll change it back tomorrow, although I still want to be remembered as "that guy who had Ravel in his avatar" ;D.
Enough about me. How long have you played violin?
Welcome.

Started when I was 8.... switched to guitar when I was 14.... started dabbeling again about 4 years ago....
Welcome, ClassicFan, and enjoy your time here.

Hi, I am an old/new member, AKA Janet, returning from a long AWOL, having traversed the mountains and deserts of other blogs and finding no meadows as green or pleasant as the GMG.
There are familiar names here I see from the distant past but also intriguing new ones. I hope to catch up on some of the fun and info, now that it is summer break. ZB

Welcome back, Janet!
Thanks! Finland, you say, it must be beautiful this time of year. I'm also a Sibelius fan (the composer).

Yes, very beautiful - although winter and fall are very beautiful, too, of course. :) (for some evidence, see the link in my signature)

I'm glad you clarified which
Sibelius you meant ;) (I, too, am a great admirer of his music)

Splendid pictures, what kind of camera do you use?
Reflets dans l'eau could be a cover for the Debussy piece. He liked pretty pictures for his published works.
(Er,
Agia Sophia, that'd be in Turkey... was also wondering about the Greek column...)

Nikon D90 at the moment, previously a Sony DSC-W7 compact digital, and also briefly a Canon EOS350D.

Well, I did not claim that
all of the photos are from Finland. ;)
Thanks for looking and commenting!
