You have to love the spry notes that concern a truly marvelous classical piece. They sort of hit you like they are trying to gain your attention or have just a few more moments to live and have to communicate all they know very quickly to you before they pass on. Sometimes they can almost control your emotions with the urgency with which they address you.
All this to say that a truly marvelous symphony explores your emotions and your intellect in a way that you should address life: with order and precision - control of both your mind and your heart. For, as I have learned, it is when you lose control of these that you lose control of yourself and consequently lose who you are.
So, stick to the symphony of your soul and learn to control it.
The world will then be at your fingertips...
