There is a great love for music written many years ago

 Musical Interlude

.
The music hall was full to capacity
In anticipation of the new conductors
Rendition of a brand new symphony
Written by a lad of twenty-six years
.
A young lad that toured with his dad
A violinist who traveled through Europe 
Playing at the symphony halls
Where he heard, learned and absorbed 
Various European musical idioms
.
A supremely talented pianist and composer
He began turning out one masterpiece after another
In every form and genre 
.
As the curtains opened a silence settled 
In the massive symphony hall
The conductor walked out on to the stage
To a rousing wave of applause
.
His baton held in the air… the musicians ready
I closed my eyes as the cantabile music
Floated over us as the serenade began
 Lulling us all into a feeling of serenity
..
To this very day a sampling 
of Mozart’s mature works comprise
a virtual honor roll of masterpieces
infusing  his form with a passion
and expressiveness unheard of 
until Beethoven…………….

Wow The two greatest composers of their day, Mozart and Beethoven. I have played their works as a first violinist in High School. To be at a symphony is an experience one can never forget and as a first violinist playing in a New York City's championship in 1943, which we won, I shall never forget. Up Cardinal Hayes High School, Bronx, NY.
Loved the poem.
