My wife is a really incredible guitarist and can memorize pieces on the
instrument very quickly... So once, when we were teens, I had had a
particularly bad day and couldn't sleep that night. So, knowing how much
I love classical music, she learned this piece and sat next to my bed
playing it all night until I fell asleep. I can't listen to it without
getting a little teary-eyed now.
It’s a real thing of genius that through the audio only I can hear the subtlety of his fingers. The mood instantly grabs you with 2 notes... the mark of an incredible master. From dark to sunshine and it actually promotes all those thoughts in your mind... powerful stuff!!
For the rare moments in life, when, no matter how old we get, we realize there is still an entire world of beauty out there for us to discover. Journeys only end when you let them...
One of my biggest accomplishments as a musician is learning how to play this piece. It isn't necessarily the most technically difficult piece to play on the guitar, but it demands a lot of attention to other musical aspects such as phrasing, dynamics, articulations and tone colour. It teaches you that there's more to learning a piece of music than simply learning to play it correctly.
