Dear Vivian,
Am I correct in assuming that Hugh and Lydia are ghosts? If so, I’m delighted. I can picture the scene. Youthful couple dancing to the gorgeous music while the real estate agent sees only swirling dust bunnies. Enchanting.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I certainly did not expect that ending! Well played. 🙂 If these are your favorite classical pieces, we have very similar tastes. Now, if you also like Dvorak and Smetana . . .

Thanks J! I’m just rekindling my love for classical music. I always had a mental block on it cos Mrs P. would have me play Bach, Chopin, Beethoven etc- but to me those were synonymous with work (and pain, and practice- 2 hours a day!).

I hear you! Kind of felt the same for a while. I’m totally blanking on the ones they had us overanalyze in Music class in Germany. That’s how traumatic it was. But I remember a teacher telling us to write what came to mind (he was normally very structured) when he had us listen to Grieg’s Peer Gynt, and while all the good little German students diligently write about measures and beats and whatnot, the international kid wrote about trolls and caves without ever having heard the piece before. Teacher didn’t believe me, but he let it go.

Yeah, I always walked to the best of my own drum. But I didn’t even think, just wrote. Few years I discovered Ibsen, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
