Re: Mozart Contrast

@Hank Okay. I didn't realize I came off as opine. Simply stating my two cents on matters I don't know about... one's gotta learn somehow. I never thought I was qualified for much of anything, I just thought it'd be nice to suggest something.

As far as my experience, I started playing guitar and learning rock music when I was 13, then 14 I got into high school and parents couldn't afford band class so I took choir instead. That introduced me to classical music. When I graduated, I was an intermediate becoming advance guitar player, I learned how to play Mozart's Rondo alla Turca and Bach's Bouree in E minor. I also experienced and practiced harmonica, piano, string bass, and ukulele.

19 years old, I took a hiatus from music, I lost the interest when I got a job and trying to become an athlete, a distance runner. At 20, I discovered Adam Neely's channel and started composing and play instruments again. I started learning bass clarinet when I came across Sebastian Tozzala and Michael Lowenstern.

21 now, I ran a 5:07 mile and six pack abs, decided that was enough. I still workout, but I focus more time on clarinet and composing. I'm a composer more than anything, but I practice bass clarinet in order to learn how to write a decent woodwind phrase more than anything.

No I never had the pleasure to be in an orchestra and haven't the money to go to music school and/or hire a teacher. I'm just your everyday passionate gullible twenty-something trying to chase a dream while he still can. Thanks for humbling me Hank.
