December 5, 200817 yr String Trio - Webern My friends think I'm weird when I hum that to myself walking through the halls at school. It's not very hummable, which compounds the difficulty.

December 7, 200817 yr Henri Dutilleux - Tout un Monde Lontain (Cello Concerto) Lookie (If you don't know the piece already)
December 7, 200817 yr At the moment it's Shostakovich's 5th Symphony and Dark Side of the Moon for me. Also a good few Preludes and Fugues by Shostakovich and 'Selected Ambient Works' by Aphex Twin.
December 8, 200817 yr Got to be Dvorak cello concerto in B minor, I'm learning it at the moment and let me tell you, its an amazing experience to be able to play some of it. Its bloody hard though. Followed VERY closely by waltz from eugene onegin by tchaikovsky, then after that creatures of prometheus by beethoven.

Very rich textures, that piece has.

December 12, 200817 yr Currently . . . the piece of music that has my attention is this new opera by Robert Aldridge called Elmer Gantry. I am in love with it. I think it is freakin brilliant. It is up there with Pucinni I think. It has some extremely captivating and gorgeous moments.
