I have been sitting here for weeks now trying to listen with some cheap old headphones that are literally falling apart. The sound’s okay but they are so tatty I feel embarrassed even when I’m on my own. I would love to get some expensive professional ear phones but that’s not on at the moment. But I’ve been looking at the Sennheiser HD 202 headphones and they get lots of good reviews at Amazon and are quite cheap. I think for now they seem the best bet, but I will carry on day dreaming about the professional headphones. Why not?

One of the greatest compositions viewed by some is the Schumann intermezzo. Composed in the lieder genre, the composition goes by the German name Zwanzig lieder und Gesang aus dem Lyrischen Intermezzo.The intermezzo is made up of twenty songs. Through the intermezzo, Robert Schumann explores complex feelings but creates the impression of naiveté. The intermezzo has variously been describes as an expression of the composer’s frustration at failing to obtain the love he desired. The composing genius of Robert Schumann is well shown in this composition as are the mood swings that characterized his entire life.
