When I’m relaxing, sleeping or just “hanging out.

When I’m paying attention solely to the music

When does listening to music bring you the most joy?

Though critics initally called it a fight between the violin and the orchestra, Brahms' Violin Concerto has proven to be one of the most beautiful - if challenging - works in the violinist's repertoire.
