Insomniac....

June 25, 2006 at 7:32 AM

The past couple of day I have been quite insomniatic (is that even a word?), either not getting to sleep at all or getting to sleep at like 4 in the morning, lol I am writing this blog at 3:12 Eastern Standard time :). I have found out that this early in the morning there is nothing on TV and I am so bored I am taking a survey on what flavor coffee am I? lol. It turns out I am a smooth coffee drinker (that is if I drank coffee). Ok so I was on 8 notes looking for sheet music as I normally do and I almost never click on any beginners, easy or advanced pieces mostly intermedite. But for some reason today I decided to click on Bach, Johann Sebastian Prelude from Suite no.1 for unaccompanied cello which was advanced, and I instantly fell in love. I have heard the piece before on Music of the Heart Most amazing movie ever and I liked it there too.. But the song is so incredibly hard.. I am spending every waking moment (there has been a lot of those lately) practicing it. I pretty much got the first measure down :D. I have been composing lately, mostly either a quartet or solo violin stuff that I want to play.. In my town they have this radio Tv thing and if it is original music you can have your band put on it for free, well I figure if I compose my stuff why cant I be on there with my violin, or me and my sister (me on violin or piano or tuba) and her on the Alto E flat clarinet. I dont know, but I have been too lazy to check out there website :). But I think I will after I am done Blogging. For any one who has played Bach, Johann Sebastian Prelude from Suite no.1 for unaccompanied cello are your arms supposed to feel like they are on the ground after you are done playing? lol

Try taking Melatonin Dietary Supplement 1/2 hour before you go to sleep. Works wnders. I wouldn't have survived last semester without it.

Richard,

In case you're interested, you can get the violin version for all of the Bach Solo Cello Suites for free (pdf format) at the Icking Music Archive:

look for 'Suites for Cello'
