I was wrong

No blind dates involved *whew*. It was just me, Rachel, and her fiance's sister. Our cousin Kersten plays violin with the Orchestra at Temple Square and she got us tickets. The performance was nice, but I thought they took "Air" by Bach just a bit too fast for my taste. But that would be Igor Gruppman's fault. I just think "Air" sounds better taken at a slower, smoother tempo...to give one a feeling of floating on a cloud, as corny as that sounds.

The rest of the program also featured Beethoven's Eighth Symphony and a piece by Rimsky-Korsukov (I know I spelled that wrong). I thought these were well done, but nothing spectacular. Don't get me wrong--I did enjoy it, but it wasn't the absolute best thing I've ever heard. I'm starting to turn into my dad; like me, my dad LOVES classical music and going to concerts, but he is not easily impressed. My music appreciation class must be having an effect on me, or there must be a genetic factor in this. Maybe both.
