The Notebook Files
   I took a class on Romantic period music.  I already knew most of the stuff, though, so all my time went to doodling in my notebook, thus the notebook lines, words, and (gasp!) occasional notes that accompany these doodles. It was all done in blue pen, thus the sloppiness, but I grayscaled it.  Note : These are definitely doodles, not cartoons. Only one even begins to remotely resemble a cartoon.
A composer just can't kill himself in peace
or : Rivers are too popular these days (this one got out of hand somehow.)
Insane Robert [Schumann]
Chopin
Tchaikovsky or Tschaikovky or Chaikovsky or Tschaikowski.. or.. ok, I'll stop now..blasted Russian names..
Brahms
The one that begins to resemble a cartoon beware - it's big.
Tchaikovsky laments the quality of life in the Romantic Period (and the Romantic Period class I took)
Wagner thus far
Liszt
Paganini was apparently SO MUCH associated with the devil that when he died, people would not touch his body for days... Talk about a nice publicity crew. He didn't even have to wear boa constrictors around his neck.. How far has today's pop degenerated that they must resort to such things??
The Wagner/Brahms war
Mendelssohn
more reasonable music stuff
