To Dr. Efthymios
I'm asking a few selected members to give me their opinion on listening* to a particular work - (i.e, perhaps you would choose[......if you had a few minutes to spare ! ......] my Violin Concerto on www.musicvenue21.com) – as to whether such music would be likely to 'nudge' Youth towards the concert halls in more enthusiastic numbers than at present…..or not !
Your response would be very welcome.

* I’m afraid earphones (not speakers) are essential to quality in this case.
If you hear it on speakers, you’re listening to soup !
