The Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Opus 24, is a violin sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is often known as the "Spring" sonata, and was published in 1801. Its dedicatee was Count Moritz von Fries, a patron to whom the fourth violin sonata, the string quintet of the same year, and the seventh symphony were also dedicated.
The work is in four movements:
Allegro
Adagio molto espressivo
Scherzo: Allegro molto
Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo
The Scherzo and its trio are particularly brief (and as pointed out here the scherzo is canonic).
~Wikipedia
To you music people out there, this probably makes sense. But not everybody is a music people, I will explain.
Basically what the previous quote means is that Beethoven's 5th violin sonata is a sonata (duh) with four totally awesome movements. It really is sweet sounding.
To show you how awesome it actually is, I have imbedded videos of all four movements.
By the way, I have a recital coming up in about a week and I'm planning on learning this after it.

Gladiator: The Score
I have recently been listening to the score for the movie Gladiator. It was written by Hans Zimmer so naturally, it's amazing. One of my personal favorites. I love how he uses a lot of sweeping and flowing melodies in comparison with many of his other scores.
Here are three of my favorite songs from the soundtrack.

Drawings Old and New
I am very interested in art. Art has always been a great inspiration for me in many ways including music composition. Some of the great composers wrote whole symphonies based off of paintings. Whenever I see a good painting or drawing I always find myself wanting to get out my pencil and paper and create a masterpiece. Although I may not be an amazing artist, I enjoy drawing.
I haven't been drawing very much recently but am starting to back into it. Anyhow, I decided that I would let you, yes you, the reader, witness some drawings from my past (and present). They are shown in order of date - oldest ones being at the top and newest ones being at the bottom. Note: You must know before viewing these as a critic that I have never had a single art lesson in my life.
