Music and Nature continue to inspire me and to teach me. I "need" to play the piano, to run, to hike and cycle every day.. With many years as an executive in the commercial music industry, and a MBA, I 'get' business. (Business savy ppl ride bikes!)

Thanks for this. I've never been able to take Tchaikovsky seriously - his music seems fine for outdoor picnics or ballet. I'm back to studying Russian music, so he shouldn't be ignored. This should help.

Haydn: Symphony No. 62 in D major (with Score)
YouTube video by symphony7526 Haydn: Symphony No. 62 in D major (with Score)

#A-Haydn-A-Day Day 86: Symphony No. 62

Today is Valentine's Day for us, but for Haydn it's D-Day. Every movement is in D-major, without even a change of mode between major and minor. There's evidence of some hasty recycling of older music, but the result is a D-major delight!

Dont ever forget - ppl are the same everywhere. We've all made wrong choices at some point in our lives. Being 'better than' is not a good look.

Thanks. That may be a better fit for me.

I don't know if degrowth can save the world, but I know that endless growth is destroying it.
I'd rather be on the side of trying to find solutions to keep ppl and the planet healthy, rather than using all resources to add to my bank account. (I am NOT a socialist: I like the idea of free markets)

I hear you and I understand; however, we have friends and like minded ppl across the bridge. I was in Buffalo yesterday to watch film at PBS Studio.

they chose what they believed was the easier, softer way.
It is up to us to create better ways without making ppl feel less-than.

Having good, and fair business practices is the unifying factor. (I come from the corporate world, so I use 'business practices' loosely). There are many of us who are trying to come up with new business models that are sustainable and are based on spiritual (nature) goals rather than destruction.

Of course, Glenn Gould and John Cage were fascinated by one another.

And Glenn Gould is Canadian, and never gave up his homeland.

Waterfronts should connect us to nature, not traffic. Prioritizing walking and cycling keeps these spaces vibrant and accessible while protecting water, our most precious resource, from pollution caused by cars and their infrastructure.
