high school days when trying to play the bass horn. A skinny, six-foot tall, 130 pound kid with that big brass horn wrapped around me.
Whew!. Those were the days.
Have had an affinity for string quartets that goes back a few years. There's just something about a string quartet that strikes an intimate chord in me.
Loved the pictures and paintings in the Copland piece.
And the bassoon!!
Thanks for these.

and, you know, that oboe!

I got some hearing impairment going on and really high pitched sounds wig me out. That may be why these two instruments are most appealing. They also kinda resonate in your innermost.

I also do love cello.

Listening to a mix of classical keeps me intact.
A counter measure to the not-to-be-mentioned [in this 'delicate' thread] goings-on in our dear country.

I have happiness that you enjoy the selections.

Are you still playing any instruments?
