Why do you love to perform?
We love the emotion music holds; playing makes one discover them and delight in bringing them forth. Performing also challenges one to a level of polish that otherwise might not be striven for. We as a group plan on playing with each other as long as we have close contact with each other and none of us ever plan on putting our instrument down regardless our career. We chose this piece because we all have fun parts that switch off with the melody and interact engagingly with each other. Also the range of emotions causing us to feel so energetic and a little mysterious at first, but then oh so playful and lovely at the melody, and interspersed with the determined chores throughout! (and because its so pretty)!
