I usually do not approve of "me too" comments; but I have to support this conclusion that sometimes there are occasions when enthusiastic applause just does not feel right. This was definitely one of those occasions. My Examiner.com piece should now…
Music can move me but I was totally unprepared for tonight's concert!

This is cool!
Shakespeare caught the imagination of the Romantics (note that you list primarily Romantic composers) after having languished for a century (or two). This was due to the German translations of Shakespeare that happened in the 1700s. Shakespeare was…
Hi Susan -- I wonder if your students would enjoy comparing the Piano Variations to the Orchestral Variations -- same work, but different instruments?
Lunch and curriculum talk sound great! Maybe the easiest thing is for you to email me: skey@sfsym…

Mahler 5 adagietto, Lieder eines fahrenden gesellen, Mahler 9 - 9/26
Music can move me but I was totally unprepared for tonight's concert!
I wept!
The Mahler 5 adagietto has always had a special place in my heart because of a very dear friend with whom I shared Mahler 5 several years ago.
Thomas Hampson's Lieder eines fahrenden gesellen bore deep into my heart.
But the final overlay of Hampson's voice on the Mahler 9 broke my heart!
I would have given a standing ovation, but I was so deeply moved that tears will have to suffice.
Thank you!

Jean Shirk said… - That's wonderful news about Susan Key - I saw that you and she were talking and that you'd invited her to lunch - I'm so glad you were able to do that. Happy to have been a small part of making it happen. Maybe I'll meet you one of these days when you're here with your class. Thanks for participating in the social network - I hope you'll continue to do so. Would you like to write a blog post about your conversation with Susan Key? Maybe there are ideas other teachers could use? Thanks again, Susan.

- Hi Susan - I noticed you listed horn as one of your instruments. A new group for horn players has just formed on the San Francisco Symphony social network – hope you’ll check it out and join the conversation! Here’s the link: http://community.sfsymphony.org/group/hornplayers
