Mozart

I went to the Philharmonic with my friend this evening.  It was a program of all Mozart with an interesting little tutorial on the influence of the ideas developed by the Manheim orchestra in the 1700s on Mozart's work and a comparison of how some Mozart pieces are played today (slowly and ponderously) compared to how they were probably written to be played with a much livelier tempo.  All in all it was a lovely evening of exciting music.  When it comes to music I am not a performer, two years of piano lessons proved that, but I am an excellent audience.  I will never play in an orchestra but I have often wondered what it would feel like to sit in the middle of the orchestra while they are playing and feel the music swirl around me.  I will probably never experience that, but stranger things have happened.  Maybe I should put it on my bucket list.
