I've decided to make no mention of work or work-related matters on this blog. It's more important to think about what you do with your leisure time. At the moment, I am desperately trying to improve my musical skills. Having managed to grasp the basics of guitar and piano, I am struggling to move on with either. There are lots of online lessons for guitarists but there does not seem much for the piano.
I am really excited about going to see Parsifal at the EN0 and I've begun reading Ernest Newman's masterly study of the Wagner's operas 'Wagner Nights' Also worth reading is Michael Tanner's study entitled simply 'Wagner'- what else!
I spent a lot of time at university in the pub rather than the lecture hall! I'm starting to put that right now by studying some of the writers that I missed! First up is Dante. I've just finished reading the 'Inferno' and I am currently listening to Yale University lectures on each canto.
