That's quite enough for tonight dear.

Mme HF (violin) and her sister (piano) are practicing César Franck's violin sonata together, 'coz they is playing it on Xmas day at their cousin's gaff. I may be about to get a trifle irritated.

I thought you were going to get your gun instead. I read it too quick.

Are they better at it than you thought they'd be?

They aren't too bad really, sis-in-law went to the Conservatoire in Bordeaux. It's just hearing the same passage over and over and over....

There's a blast from the past. I used to accompany my friend from school when she was learning that. We entered a few competitions with it too...

My oldest son has taken up the Saxaphone..................I can not endure one more rendition of Strangers In The Night

(he plays robotically) I fear I may shove his saxaphone into his smallest orifice!!

We seem to be getting somewhere. THe fourth movement right through tonight, seems all right to my untrained ears.

You will now know exactly why the French for rehearsal is ''répétition''.... You can use this emoticon to give it a vibrato effect....

My grandson was a star in the school navity play and everytime he came we had to listen to Star light star bright. In the end I new the words better than him but it was worth it in the end seeing him singing Star light on stage. Tear in the old eye.

You lucky sod HF! That must be lovely...oh to be so talented. Besides, it is nice to have a family that is perfectly Franck with you...

The ability to read music is as foreign to me as Russian or Greek... my biggest regret.
