Three quotes.

My thoughts about the advice given, how it has been interpreted, and the negative impact those strict beliefs have had on the expansion of our musical experience. In this journey along the path of "Forgotten Cello Music" I want to get into some things that have had a lasting, bad impression on me since at least undergrad. I hope that it doesn't come across as a diatribe but rather my take on and attempting to understand the why's and wherefore's of the beliefs staunch adherents have had when adamantly objecting to any music they consider second-rate or worse.

Come along with me. Send comments and join the conversation. Maybe you, too, wish to expand the experience we collectively have in Classical music. Maybe you also enjoy the "Great" music but at the same time grow a little weary and would like to branch out into some new, undiscovered world of music. 

While I admire Schumann and his works, some of the points are somewhat startling and even off-putting. I attempt to work through the tough points and make sense of what he was getting at. Although I do not work through it in methodical detail, I do try to bring a broad sense of understanding and ideas to rectify the situation.

blah blah blah

listen in.
