... months of daily sessions with the doctor, who bombarded the patient with constantly repeated, "You will begin to write your concerto... The concerto will be of excellent quality..."
He did write the concerto, dedicating it to Dahl, and it is indeed of excellent quality, a judgment audiences have been making since it was played by the composer for the first time on October 27, 1901. It immediately took its place as one of the quintessential romantic showpieces for piano and orchestra, and this in spite of the fact that the solo is often sonically buried in unyielding orchestral textures. There are, to be sure, virtuo ...

objected so greatly, that the site was then taken to a farm about eight

elaborate portrait of ourselves, American people- individuals and families,
northerners and southerners, soldiers and civilians, slaves and slaveowners,

the colonists were of a submissive nature, and were weakly pleading for
self-autonomy. This small fire of anger will become a huge conflagration as
the rights are slowly rescinded.

committee's passed some laws that attempted to strengthen the grip of the

... to prayer and laments on the physically and mentally troubling aspects of his world. In the next stanza, the window washer comments on the prestige of the boardroom he looks into as he washes the windows. Here he addresses the change he wants to make in his life and states that he would like to swap places with the business men in the room.
