Learn more about Classical Music

today I went to pick up my tickets for Beethoven’s 9:th on friday and saw that they are playing Vivaldi’s 4 seasons and Mozart’s clarinet concerto (^^ 28d! ;) tonight! I havn’t heard Vivaldi in concert ever I think :/ Pondered wikipedia a little:
”.. in them [the 4 seasons] Vivaldi represented flowing creeks, singing birds (of different species, each specifically characterised), barking dogs, buzzing mosquitoes, crying shepherds, storms, drunken dancers, silent nights, hunting parties (both from the hunter’s and the prey’s point of view), frozen landscapes, children ice-skating, and burning fires.” Im psyched!! Vivaldi was a red head btw for those interested :)

I have made two interesting friends who together have many years of higher musical education. I expect to learn much from them.

Besides that Im going to concerts every now and then; last week I saw London Symphony Orchestra on tour, on saturday I will go to a “composer’s evening” where a swedish composer talks a bit about his peaces before playing them, and on tuesday I will go see Mozart’s clarinet concerto.

And the greatest thing saved for last.. next weekend me and a friend will go to Amsterdam to enjoy Beethoven’s fifth and hear Lang Lang play Tchaikovsky’s first piano concerto. :)
