as small as a world and as large as alone

for some reason i dont usually play things for tumblr

hearing how bad the tone quality is in comparison to meatspace is a VERY unpleasant reminder of why

this is bach’s 3rd cello suite, the gigue

Wow.

The cello is my favorite instrument.

Most of the time, I have multi-part cello melodies and harmonies going through my head.  Beautiful stuff.  Since I can’t play cello, and since I can’t write down music at the speed it goes through my head, nobody else will ever hear this beautiful music.  Sometimes it’s so beautiful it makes me cry.  But nobody will ever hear it.  The best I can do is play some of it, modified, on the violin, but it’s not the same as a cello.  A cello has a  voice all its own, and I only wish I could play.  (My hands are so tiny that even violin is a stretch in parts, so cello is unlikely.)

This was beautiful.
