Today I had a student who was feeling rather dramatic about the opening of Bernstein’s Rondo for Lifey. I have found this to be a common problem, so I have devised a cure. If you should ever find yourself in this situation, remember this:
Yes, that would be Lifey! Of course, this is not the actual Lifey, but it is a sky terrier nonetheless. Look at the picture again. I think it is safe to say that this is not the subject of a Mahler Symphony or a Wagner Opera. Something to keep in mind the next time you perform this wonderfully charming little piece.
