Hi MG,

Oh my gosh! I don’t know what to say about the 1st movement of your symphony. It exudes pure genius! I just spent almost an hour listening to it 4 times already. Everything about it simply amazes me. I don’t know how you can go so far out and bring it back so cleverly. That work is masterful. I could never even consider attempting anything like that. I don’t have enough years left in my life to complete even one of the movements. You bring so many things together with such balance, it just fascinates me.
Solo fiddles in a symphony? What a brilliant idea! I bet you would be right at home in the Bayu.
BTW, thanks for the additional tips. I fully intend to experiment with all of them. It may take me a while, but I think I should be able to make good use of your suggestions. Take care and keep writing that great stuff! I’ve got a ton of space left on my hard drive.

Cheers,
Fred
