I’m happy to call your attention to a new blog, My Second Act<\/a>, especially as the author had the good sense to use one of their first posts to call attention to my post on Mendelssohn- Felix Rocks.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Balance of All Things<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong>Just as nature is said to abhor a vacuum, so I believe that the universe needs balance across its vast spaces. I recognize that this is a very seventeenth-century concept, complete with a soundtrack by Old Bach. Yet I find this a comforting thought, especially when I am confronted by the continuing dissolution of culture and mores within the traditional press, as evidenced by the wall-to-wall coverage of Mlles. Hilton, Lohan, and Ritchie.<\/p>\n

Today, balance has been restored. While catching up on posts on some of my favorite sites, I happened on a link to Kenneth Wood’s blog<\/font><\/a>. Scroll down and read his thoughts on Mendelssohn, and see if you – like me – didn’t find yourself searching your own musical soul.<\/div>\n

I think I will spend the afternoon listening to “Elijah.”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
