Sorry, J.

I pretty much fell in love with another dead European composer all over again- Franz Liszt. (My other obsession is Frederic Chopin.) No, not in the weird way. I mean, his music is so amazing, and today, I am specifically writing of one such Paganini Etude that he wrote... La Campanella. It is the third of the Grand Paganini Etudes, and I wish I had the music because I would probably begin to try to learn it. This wouldn't be extremely successful, but it is worth a try.
Here is a not-so-great version of it, no offense to the at-the-time-14-years-old boy who is playing. I downloaded a professional version a few minutes ago, and I will send it to you if you contact me about it or something.

I also finally decided to search for "Dawn" from Pride & Prejudice, and I actually found it by the time Anna got here. It was extremely exciting. "Love Song" had such bad quality that I spent a bunch of time just tracing over bars and adding note stems where they should have been. Anna had fun with my Gmail account.
Today also happened to be the last day of school for sophomore year. Nothing very exciting happened, but we all had some great times at lunch as usual. Very good times, indeed. I already miss people, though. And yeah, all of them miss Jerrod.
