Day 42

Quick and easy today, and you'll know why by the end.

Side One
Piece: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in B Minor, Op. 61
1. Allegro
2. Andante
Composer: Edward Elgar
Soloist: Kyung-Wha Chung, Violin
Orchestra: London Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Sir Georg Solti
Record Date: February 1977

Side Two
Side One
Piece: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in B Minor, Op. 61
3. Allegro molto
Composer: Edward Elgar
Soloist: Kyung-Wha Chung, Violin
Orchestra: London Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Sir Georg Solti
Record Date: February 1977

So why is today so quick and painless? Because I don't remember much of the piece. Unfortunately that isn't reflective of the piece (ok 90% of that isn't), but rather because I had my nose in a book for school while listening; needless to say I didn't focus like I could have. This is actually something that has been bothering me for the last couple of weeks, the fact that as life speeds up, my chances to sit down and really explore a piece of music are dwindling. I'm certain this is more of a "growing up" experiences than anything else, it just means that when I do get a chance to really listen, I should take it, and let you all know.
