"People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words. These too seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words." 
--Felix Mendelssohn

Today is a momentous occasion for me--I'm giving my junior recital. Today is the day I've been working towards my whole college career. Today is a day for making music.
