I recently came across a famous violin concerto of Beethoven while browsing idly, titled - The Kreutzer sonata. I hadnt heard this one before and so, did what every self-respecting net user does. Ask Google.
This led me to a
youtube video. Was reading an ebook while waiting for it to buffer.
After a wait for 15 minutes, the chordal opening of the piece fill the silence, as if shaking me awake from a lull i would rather not submit myself to. The sweet notes of the violin then give way to the piano, and then the harmony begins, with the violin leading the way, the chords of the piano following suit. I relax as the introduction pans out, building up slowly, in pace and vigour.

Hi Deepak, what a wonderful piece of writing. It is good to know a youngster interested in classical music. Do you attend musical dramas in India. I love them. There is this particular one called 'wicked' - I have seen it three times so far. If I have lot of money I will go again. There is one song just before the interval 'defying gravity' which is fantastic. The music, the singer's echoing voice, the stage and the stage tricks they use to make her look flying - there is nothing comparable to it.
