I don't know the full details of your music story, but I feel a pang for you seeing the sheet music….boxed up? Are you happy about your music decisions? I hope so. HMSx
Boxed up and going into storage. Am I happy? I think so. I'm too terrified to tell at the mo. x
Such a stunning image – nothing like old music books and programmes, they always have such gorgeous typography!
Jem xXx
These and old manuscripts can keep me amused for hours, particularly well-loved ones that have the marks of years of playing and use, the scribbles in the margins and around the staves… Fun! Though I am always reminded of a cartoon from New Scientist years ago. Mathematician sat reading the score to a Beethoven symphony, captioned "Good gracious, no. I don't listen to it!"
Such a lovely sound, the cello.
Like how you the linky favours us west coast USA folks now; still saturday night here!
Ohhhh (if this is putting your concert music away).
Hurray (if this is getting the music out of storage).
Ohhhh (if this is getting ready to sell your music).
Hurray (if is you getting your music out to pass on to another cellist).
Have I covered all the bases there? If this is a wistful photo I hope you had a large glass/bottle of wine handy after taking it…. All the best xx
"Ohhhh (if this is putting your concert music away)" << It's that one. :-S x
Perhaps you'll unpack it one day and play it like never before – who knows? But to lay aside one passion to pursue another – a hard choice!
Maybe!! But you're exactly right. 2 incredibly strong passions, only room for one at the moment. And I'm rubbish at making choices!
:'( Sending hugs. Xxxxxxx
Thank you lovely xxx
*sniff* I know how much they mean to you but I'm sure you'll use them again
I think so. Maybe one day…who knows. xx
Bravo maestro!

So poignant and a touch sad, but they're not gone for good, only resting until you meet again
I think so. It's hard to remember that, but yes, you're right.
x
I don't know all the details of your full musical story, but very poignant to see your sheet music boxed up…for good?
Boxed up for good….for the foreseeable at least.
Ahh, are you having a sort out? Memories hey! Don't throw it whatever you do. I know this is not an active part of your life anymore more but is still at huge part of your life's history and a beautiful talent that you possess. You should love and share it just for sheer fun at your choosing now. Would love to hear you play one day. x
Thank you, maybe one day.

the route to a soul… you've stopped playing?
I have stopped. Played professionally up until February this year.
My Mum played professionally until 7months pregnant with me when she couldnt practise because I'd kick the back and it would echo through the cello! To this day, I've never heard her play
If you love it, don't forget to love it just because, even if not for a purpose.
A box to be treasured – and your kids will cherish it, too. x
I hope someone will cherish it, whether it's me or The Smalls. And I'll keep hope alive for your mum to play again too.
x
Have you been putting these say or unpacking them again? Must be hard either way as they mean so much to you
Very poignant photo x
Putting them away; they've been sitting quietly in my music filing cabinet; now it's time to move them out of the way. Bit weird. But thank you. x
There is so much emotion and meaning behind this photograph, you can feel it pouring out! I like what fireflyphil said about laying aside one passion to pursue another – you really do have great passion!
Thank you.
I hope these aren't causing you too much trouble. All my opera pieces are in a box in the loft, but sometimes I hear them calling me.
What do you do when they're not just calling but absolutely yelling and screaming? That scares me a bit. x
Boxes can be opened. X
Very true Mumra, very true. One day, right? x
Now I understand the sadness- are you keeping them though?
Keeping them for now, definitely not ready to get rid. Still hope or something, right?!?
Oh no boxing up your music books, keep them safe as one day you may need or want them again…
They'll be very safe. I hope someone does want them one day!
Hopefully just a temporary measure while you concentrate on your fab photography? Maybe in a while you'll play just for pleasure, just for yourself?
Temporary for now, not sure if it will be me playing them again though.
Big slobbery kisses. That is all x
Thank you. In light of our conversation the other day, this felt very weird to do, you know? xx
I'm sure it did. Remember there's no pressure to do anything. Do what you need to do, and at your own pace x
This photo says a lot; the beauty of the music sheets but also some sadness seeing them stored away.
Thank you. That's exactly what I thought while preparing my post. x
A glimpse into another life. I hope it's not over.
It is another life, which is over for now, at least.
wow…that speaks volumes. Awesome.
Thank you.
I'm sure a big metaphorical bow is being tied around that box. Ready to be opened like a gift in the future.
Absolutely spot on.
Well if you weren't so darn talented then you wouldn't have to make the tough choices
Hah, if anyone wants my talent, they're welcome to one of them
Oh how that takes me back, I might spend a few hours this week reminiscing through my music
What Tempest said. Hugs whatever the answer is. x
What a poignant picture. I hope in the future you can go back to enjoying playing again xx
Thank you; maybe one day, eh? x
Looks like a straightforward picture but it's generated so much discussion. I love the fact it's silent sunday so everyone can make up their own mind about what it's about.
I love the colours – it really coordinates with the background of your blog!
oh sweet heart *hugs* Are you not keeping them for the smalls? Or even just for memories?
I read your post on waiting for IT to happen with photography, it will – I feel it in my bones and this photo has a sadness about it, a strong love but I don't think your music will ever leave you, it's in your heart.
Gorgeous photo, it talks to me
Fab. In so many ways. Love to you lady.
Just a temporary rest while you make a proper space for it in your life. Like my sewing machine…
I think so. Maybe.
I've put all my Italian language stuff in a similar box. It makes me feel that I've made a positive decision to store it for now, rather than feeling guilty about it taking up space on my shelves. I'm about to lend some of it to my youngest sister who will be doing an Italian course this autumn. And then hopefully I can pick it up again in a year or so.
Having read your post this week, I hope this is a picture of a gift being opened rather than of one of things being packed away…
Surprisingly emotional shot x
Packed away I'm afraid. And thank you. x
Precious memories. Do you still play?
No, I quite professionally in February this year.
Revisiting or recycling?
Neither – packing away.
A beautiful picture, Jay. Hang on to them, you never know what the future holds.
xxx
I will do I think. And you're right, nobody knows which way it will all go. Thank you. x
Are you organizing piano music? My daughter has been playing for about 5 years. This year a young lady at church was moving and gave my daughter her piano. What a gift!!?? My daughter loves it. Happy Organizing!!?? :0)
A perfect Silent Sunday, one that says so much. I see from all the comments that you're putting them away for now. I hope you find peace with it somehow. x
Thank you. x
There's something so lovely about music books. Love this pic! x
Time to pack the past away? Sending ((hugs)).
x
Indeed packing away the past. Thanks lovely lady x
I saw on Twitter you had packed this stuff away. Hope it wasn't too hard a decision. Maybe one day soon they will be unpacked again
Maybe one day, eh?
Encore…
wow what a strong picture. Something that was such a big part of your life being packed away. Hugs x
