Brahms, Death, and What to Say

Long ago, when I was a young music student, I struggled to master Brahms on the piano. I prefered the more accessible Chopin, the impressionist Debussy, and the structured and perfect Mozart.  When I attempted to play Brahms, the music wasn't music; it just sounded like notes. My wise piano teacher took time out from my lesson. She told me that at one time she'd had trouble interpreting and understanding Brahms. She also never knew what to say at funerals. How could she help the person who had suffered the loss of a loved one? Then her husband died.  Read more >

It's all about balance. Always. My balance for the just-begun spring break is part plan, part recipe, part goal/ to-do list. Relaxation is top of the plan. Stressful job, stressful economy, potential stress at every turn of the newspaper page or channel change: letting go is important. Very, very important. Keeping up with schoolwork is part of the break. Amigo has homework to do, too. Our plans include taking the long weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) off from schoolwork, and then working on a little each day. When he's doing homework, I'll work on schoolwork.  Read more >
