    Could you use a little more passion in your life? I´ll bet you could. Besides a partner, try music, it has worked for many, many people

    Picked this up at JWB1979's site.This is an exceptionally beautiful presentation on classical music. See it through to the end, as the end is the best part. Chopin's Prelude in Em is a part of my repertoire that I particularly enjoy. --He plays it a bit fast, but then again, I think it would be difficult to keep the presentation at pace, otherwise. His interpretation of that piece is beautiful and I don't think anyone in that audience could say that they did not understand the emotional message within the piece. He is an excellent teacher. Bravo!

    "Benjamin Zander has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our untapped love for it -- and by extension, our untapped love for all new possibilities, new experiences, new connections." Much more on the page. TED does it again! The talented people who give presentations at these conferences are not only gifted in their profession but really bring inspiration through their ability to connect and convey the vitality of their art, knowledge and ideas ...and all of them have been touched with brilliance and humor. Benjamin Zander joins their ranks and made my day! Thank you Ruud, for sending this my way, I did appreciate it very much!
