Fearful music

I didn't know there was anything in the player when I hit the button.  But soon poured out the best Chopin I've ever heard.  He's so immediately emotional, yet not raw.  Disciplined, controlled, but totally there and true to feelings most of which are out of my grasp.  Chopin and Mozart give for me close to a divine take on music.  It makes me think that


  • Mozart swung on God's rib cage, with it's structure and architecture
  • Chopin swam in God's veins, in its turbulence and changing pulse

I wonder how Mozart would have felt if he had heard Chopin.  I wonder what all of us will feel when Jesus sits down at the keyboard.
