Last night I drove up to Cedar City to go to a concert given by my future piano professor. It was raining so hard on the drive back that I had to open up the swimming paddles underneath my truck just to get through the flood, but we made it. The concert was all romantic, a tribute to Chopin and Schumann because this year is their bicentennial. He played Polonaise Militaire, Fantasie in F Minor, and the rest was 17 variations of an Etude by Schumann. I must say, I have always been in love with Chopin (I don't know a classical musician who isn't) but I never had much of an appreciation for Schumann. He's a pretty cool guy, I guess. I don't know if he's as awesome as Howlin Wolf; I'm guessing he didn't have such a soothingly gravely voice, but he wrote some kick-butt piano for his lovers. Thank you and goodnight.
