Partita in E major
Sabrina is playing a solo concert next week, but I'm going to be out of town. She just happened to bring her violin to fencing practice on Monday, and I browbeat her into playing something for me. She first played the 3rd movement of Beethoven's 3rd partita, and then went back and played the 2nd movement. Stunning. She's amazing. I guess she should be, since she's going to Temple U for music in the fall.
How does someone learn to do something so beautiful like that? My avocation, teaching people to be fencers, seems so pale in comparison. Do you think I can teach people to be beautiful fencers?

Avocations are only as pale as the determination behind them. I'm surprised and pleased that you found within yourself the ability to pass on your gift- I remember you once disdained to do so.
I'm sure that if it's your desire to teach people to be beautiful fencers, then you will in fact impart the myriad beauties of the foil. (or epee, or rapier...)
