Author	Topic: Sorry for the waste of space...

Hector J. Guzman Oscar® Winner	Hi. Since I've made some good friends here, I wanted to post this here, please, if you bear with me, and if Mr. Kelly doesn't mind. Yesterday I learned one of my closest and dearest friends had past away. We had an argument around October, and stop speaking to each other since. She was 15. Just last week I forwarded a message for the first time since October, and got the news yesterday from her sister, I'm still set to meet with her, and explain what happened. Sorry again for this. As for my situation in the music listening experience, I don't feel like listening to scores, though I did listen to Williams' Heartwood and the Elegy. Last night they were playing a movement from a Mahler Symphony on the radio, I don't remember which, but it felt right. What other works would you recommend? To keep it a music related topic.

Kyriacos S Oscar® Winner	I am so sorry to hear that... Well...my very first piano teacher passed away aged 82 just two weeks ago(at least HE got the chance to live his life...). He was like a grandfather to me. He even wrote a letter to me giving me advice regarding my future in music three days prior to his death. I remember playing Goldenthal at that day. Michael Collins(Civil War)-short, but very effective. Also, you could play the third movement from his Vietnam Oratorio("Hymn"). Wonderful piece, full of melancholy. I hope i've been helpful...

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	That's horrible! If you have, play some Bruckner (symphony #4, for example). Nothing as comforting as a Bruckner symphony.

Kimiakane Oscar® Winner	Dearest Hector and Kyriacos, I am so very terribly sorry for your loss. It is unbearably painful to lose someone so close to you. I have had to experience that three times in my life already, so I share your pain. Hector, it must be particularly painful for you considering the circumstances of your last meeting with your friend. Hopefully you believe in the afterlife as I do, and if you do, I'm sure that she can see that you truly grieve in her loss, and she knows you have and do still care for her. You will meet again someday and will know each other as the close friends you have been. It seems unlikely at this point, but trust me on this, as much as it hurts now, time truly does heal all wounds, and this too will pass. It really will. Please feel free to e-mail me if you want to talk more about it. My free time is yours (when my family gives me the chance). Oh and Marian is right (He convinced me to try Bruckner) about the music choice, although any music that you enjoy will probably make you feel better. I'm sorry again, Galina

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Really sorry to hear that Hector, that's terrible and I really feel for you, I've been there twice which is two times too many, if you want to talk personal e-mail me! As for music I would recommend Trying Vaughan Williams Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis! It's a beautifully moving and spiritual piece of music, this was played on late night British TV on the day Princess Diana died but I had to turn it off, I didn't want to associate my all time favourite piece of music with her death as it's very personal to me! best Tim

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	15 is young and it's sad to lose someone you didn't get to patch things up with too. I feel sad for you both. Take care.

Hector J. Guzman Oscar® Winner	Hi, I just wanted to thank you guys for all the support. And thanks to Galina for the e-mail. And Kyriacos, I'm sorry to hear about your piano teacher. I was remembering, this girl become my best friend since June of 2000, and it was during the horrific events of September 11 that looked for comfort in her. I remember very clear, we talked about life and death, and love and heartbreak. She was the sweetest person in the world. Just a couple of weeks ago I got Williams' score for A.I., and been very fascinated by the song he wrote for it. The lyrics have become to me what I feel for this wonderful person that is no more. She had all of her life in front of her. I don't want to turn all sentimental or whatever, but thanks again and Marian, I'll try to get Bruckner next time I go to the music store... And to Mark, my best wishes for him and his soon to be wife...hope the best... Hector [Message edited by Hector J. Guzman on 03-18-2002]

Philipp Oscar® Winner	Hector, I too am sorry for your loss. I believe that she knows that you didn´t mean what you said. Remember, a part of her will always be with you. I truly believe that. As for the music, Barber´s Adagio for Strings is a very beautiful healing music. Also, Dennis McCarthy´s cue THE NEXUS/ A CHRISTMAS HUG was used by me, when my grandfather passed away. The cue really helped me to heal my wounds. Best to you, buddy Philipp
