Classical Connections

Link to 'Big Elegy to John Cage'

Classical Connect - Free classical music online

Whilst listening to this piece, the emotions conveyed by the music hit me instantly. The song attempts to be light hearted but is held back by a longing sadness. These are the same emotions I imagined Dewey Kerrigan to be experiencing in quite a few portions of the book. Now many people can relate to some of the problems Dewey goes through, such as bullying and loneliness, then things take a turn for the worst with her father's death. Thankfully, by her side is her new friend Suze. While the future for Dewey is uncertain with no family to take her in, yet hope always remains.
