"Confidence remains
the challenge of our time. "
Alain PEYREFITTE

Yet the man and the world around it can be quite another thing when one takes the trouble to look, listen to others talk, think, propose, criticize and act responsibly, smiling. ......
have confidence!
The following texts, no relation with each other, can feed this reflection, a little unusual for me I agree! :
"The only statement we can ask, and that experience shows is that music one deserves to be celebrated after the word of God.
What we want to comfort those who are sad or erasable those who are happy, give courage to the despairing, bend the proud, appease lovers, haters soften ,....
What can we find more effective music? ".
Martin Luther , Encomion Musices 1538
