I'm breaking up with you.

September 21, 2010 at 7:43 PM

I'm frustrated. I hate everything I hear after recording. Hate it, hate it... and I have a message to paganini: I'm sorry paganini, my violin doesn't respond to you. At first I just though it was the technique, but then I realized that after a few times through I can do it, but it just doesn't sound that pretty. So I'm leaving you for your own master, Locatelli. Sorry to end it this way, but you're dead, I didn't think you would mind.

I think we all would broke up with a few composers or peices/concertos...  Sometimes because we want and sometimes because we're forced to...  (even with practice, good will, guidance from teachers and much time)

At least, you didn't broke up with your violin ; )

 Funny you should say that...I've been hankering for some Locatelli, and some Telemann Fantasias too!  Have fun with it, whatever you play :-)
