David, I am sure with your connection to your instrument, you will play beautifully. Thank you for that description of you and your
Cellos connection. That is a true musicians heart. :)

one of my friends has a son that is in college on a full music scholarship, he plays the viola...(and SHE is the most country person I know, she says she don't know where it came from) he is having some big deal this March that I have been invited to...he is performing at an event that features him and his own compositions and he is being featured on a recording soo...
hey if there are people here that are that into it, I am sure there are up there in your part of the country!

I think I remember you talking about that young man once before Jess. I remember reading something about you knowing someone who played the viola. At least I THINK it was you. Anyway, kudos to him! I always love to hear about young people interested in classical music. I'm hoping Eric will come around and express interest in the cello, although I doubt I could afford to buy him a cello right now! I better start saving, huh? ;)
Did you ever get around to watching Amadeus, Jess?

I can't watch the video Paul. I'm on dial-up. I have the sheet music to all the Cello Suites. Actually it's a book. When I first bought it years ago it would keep flipping closed as I was playing. >:(
But I've worn it down quite a bit and now it stays open like it is suppose to. :D
Yes, #6 is beautiful. I agree with you. I haven't played that one in a long time. It's a difficult one because of all the very high position work involved. I may try to tackle it again though.
