Very unfortunate segue-way from Mendelssohn to Rodgers...and back again. (Hear the Mendelssohn as he intended here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm3Cz4tpoLI from around the 1:20 mark.)

My Favorite Strings

Practicing a postlude (sort of) based on Vivaldi-Bach, with a bit of Bill Haley. The "original" Vivaldi-Bach is here: http://imslp.nl/imglnks/usimg/e/eb/IMSLP05911-Bach_-_BGA_-_BWV_972.pdf

Sadly, only the opening page of Liszt's "Carol of the Death Bells" has ever been found. Think what might have been...

Words to Paganini's "Witch's Dance"

I’m a little witchy,
I’m a little itchy,
When I feel all twitchy,
I like to dance all around.

If you’re not too lazy,
you can dance like crazy,
I will show the way. See,
watch as my feet leave the ground.

Now I am up in the air.
Now I am way over there.
Now there are birds in my hair, but
that’s fine with me, I don’t care.

Now I’m feeling sleepy,
much too tired to keep me
flying, so I come back down.

Now that I am rested,
all the birds that nested
in my hair and messed it up
all are flying away
but I do hope that they
will all come back to see me some day!
