Feeling the Music

Last night, my string quartet got together. We started playing at 7:45 p.m. A little later, I glanced at my watch. It was 10:00. We had completely lost track of time, having been so absobed in our playing.

There were powerful, magical moments last evening, as we practiced a Mozart quartet and read through a quartet by Brahms. There were intense moments when we played together and felt the music together. We were wafted into another world on the wings of music. These were only moments, not extended time periods, but they were precious and wonderful!

I thought about my dreams as a young woman in college. I played with a string quartet there and I thought how wonderful it would be if, when I became an adult, I could play in a string quartet, always. My dream has come true!
