Inside the Sun's Painting


Today, I listened to Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 5 "Spring" in F Major, played by Henryk Szeryng (violin) and Arthur Rubinstein (piano). I said before how classical music can take us to other worlds. When it takes you to a distant world to which you have been before and long to return to in real life, this is called nostalgia.

In the midst of a cold winter, the dancing melodies of the sonata's first movement remind me of everything I miss about green landscapes, warm scents, outdoor smiles, and glasses of chilled white wine.
