What a moving story! I agree that sometimes music is what allows us to make it through the day.

Oh, Karen! : (

I just kept reading and going, "oh no," about the lost grant, about the story behind Mendelssohn's work, about the co-worker's brother. You're so right. Music, sometimes is the only antidote to the yuck all around us and in society, both past and present. I am actually writing up a blog on this subject as well - maybe that's why what you wrote here affected me so deeply.

Well put, all of it!
