Can't stop chuckling at this. The yin -vs- yang of Moonlight Sonata on the Bernstien -vs- Raggie taggie gypsie on the recorder. Nice one.

Shame!

The world moves too fast. We need to slow down once in a while. Just... take a breath.


Well said.

I've heard many versions of this and everyone in this cottage thought it was a bit fast. It's still lovely, amazing and evocative.

As a pianist, there is something that fills you when you play this...call it spiritual connection, maybe... but it's almost indescribable. Transformative. So emotionally charged... and words fail me now...just listen.

there is something we can add after someone created such wonderful art? !!! SUPER VEL DONE IN CHOOSING IT !

I agree with you. I have to tune into silence right at the end of this masterpiece. Anything else would only ruin the moment.
