I never wanted to make an epic finale... If I want to be very honest with you, I never thought that Musica in Extenso and this blogging experience will get its final moments. But as I said earlier... everything comes to an end... eventually. Why I’m saying this? Because that’s true. After all these years, after all these experiences in my personal life, in my career... now I know, that there is always an ending. Not always in an epic way and it’s not always about a happy ending... but as they say, an ending is maybe a new beginning and I really believe in this one.
Today on Musica in Extenso (wow... maybe this is the very last time I’m writing this) we will not have some dramatic music or something sad, nostalgic. No, today I want to celebrate the end of an era. Yes... the end of an era, because here, on Tumblr I had something constant, a permanent schedule: for 11 beautiful years I had a nice place where I posted music, I shared my thoughts, my happiness, my musical preferences. I was growing up here... when I registered my account I was a student. Well now I’m a grownup man. Seriously... 11 years. I can't believe this.
I had a wonderful community here with amazing people, friends from all over the world and that is truly awesome, right? I mean, that's how I met our only and one Artistic Director, Melinda Beasi. That’s how I met the wonderful Juan M. Orozco. That’s how I met the fantastic Nick Olinger. I mean... seriously... without them, this blog would be so boring (boring as hell). I’m so grateful for their contribution and I’m a very lucky person to have such nice friends. We never met in real life, but I hope that one day we will have the chance to sit down, drink a coffee and to have a nice chit-chat, about music, about art, about us.
That’s our short story! If you want the longer version... well, you will have to read all our posts. All of the posts will be saved here and you will find anything you want (for example: musicainextenso.com/tagged/femalecomposers).
I hope you will enjoy reading and listening. I hope you will find some happiness when you will visit this blog in the future. As is said, today on Musica in Extenso: the sparkling music of Gioachino Rossini with the finale of The Barber of Seville. Why? Because it is simply amazing... as my people, here at Musica in Extenso.
Thank you for everything! Thank you for being here with us, thank you for every like and reblog! Thank you for reading and following us through all of these years!
