And I have the best date of my life to go with me!<br /><br />All of my life I have loved Ludwig Van Beethoven's music, and I consider his 9th Symphony the greatest composition ever. It is long and difficult, because it requires a full chorus and four vocal soloists in addition to a full orchestra. Though I have several fine recordings of it I have never heard it performed live.<br /><br />September 10th at The Myerson in Dallas. And my date will be the love of my life, my former wife. One thing we never differed on was music.<br /><br />But wait, there's more!<br /><br />No single artist of our time has thrilled me like Itzhak Perlman. He gets that spine chilling beauty from a violin that Andre Segovia does from a classical guitar.<br /><br />The following night we will hear Perlman in the same hall.<br /><br />I hope you don't have to share my taste in music to share my joy at this wonderful occasion.
