“Love is a symphony,” my cello teacher, Ms. Luz, said once. “The movements mirror the progression of a love affair. From the opening sonata form, something unexpected hits you. It’s fresh, raw, exhilarating. Full of hope and promise. By the second and third movements, you’re consumed with one another. It’s passionate and heart-wrenching. An emotional rollercoaster preparing us for the fourth movement. The finale, one we anticipate with bated breath, can be glorious or… tragic.”
