Carol, Adwyn and Don
Here's an abbreviated version of the program -
Ludwig van Beethoven Streichtrio, Opus 3
Paul Hindemith Trio, Opus 34 No. 1, Fugue
Robert Schumann Klavierquartett Es-dur, Opus 47
I enjoyed every minute of it, but the Schumann was a real thrill.
We've been friends with Adwyn a long time. David met Adwyn walking the cross country course way back when we were young. There weren't many guys eventing in this area then. David was showing Skipjack and Adwyn was showing Squeek. It was instant male bonding, and we've been the best of friends ever since.

These days, the guys have brother-horses. David's Reggie (Wingate) and Adwyn's Wulf (Ware) were both sired by Wendepunkt.

Mmmmm, nothing like good chamber music. We get quite a bit around here, because of the Eastman School of Music. Those students are GOOD! But, you know, the horses are your heart, and of course you can't stay away from them long. Wendepunkt was one of the first Hannoverian stallions I learned about. I'm very fond of the W lines.
I love what classical music does to me - everything switches into a different gear. Our youngest son played in a youth orchestra for years. I learned to play the violin and was supposed to be an 'angel' in the orchestra. I told the director I never felt like I sounded the part, but she liked having adults sprinkled among the kids to help keep order... I think!
Getting away from the horses is hard. Getting back to them is great. They do great things for a person, too!
