Spring has arrived and with it a wide variety of festivals to celebrate it. The work The Rite of Spring could not be missing in some programmes. A slightly lighter atmosphere is already showing. The São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra continues to amaze us this season with works rarely performed, great guest conductors and awesome soloists. I really liked the performance of »Schlomo« played several days ago and it reminded me that Zara Nelsova received a photograph from Bloch with the inscription »to Madame Schelomo« who recorded this beautiful concert conducted by the composer himself, in addition to other works of his. That is why the May cover will be dedicated to one of the greatest cellists I have ever heard and will be perfect for the celebration of the First Anniversary of My Love for Music.

My First Anniversary: Calendar
The calendar will celebrate its first anniversary on May 19th, (CONGRATULATIONS! Dearest My Love For Music!), a year went by as fast as lightning. I should have started doing it a long time ago, because there is an enormous amount of information to analyze and with which solid research could be done in the future. The path began by copying and pasting programmes details without a set format, a very informal structure, I thought only me and a few of my friends would see it, then, Harry told me about the way he organizes information on his own database, so, I just thought »that is a GREAT idea« because I realized that these classifications could become categories that could be analyzed by periods of time. I added a few more of these and voila, a longitudinal database would be created in this way. The calendar already had a formal order, I added schedules and avoided choosing a very personal template for the blog.

| Celebrating my first anniversary! |
- The problems that have come up are related to Google's requirements, I have ignored some of these, but I have tried to make the blog load faster, using green colors, images in webp format and by reducing deprecated code, but from time to time the download process is still slow -very slow-, I will spend a bit of time to fix it.
- Now, the biggest challenge is to add more programmes from different sources and accessible to all, to make it possible for the database to be updated in real time and available to all. Blogger's tools are friendly but somewhat limiting at the same time. The page format to create each day of the calendar is easy to use and does not require previous knowledge of html or ccs languages but encloses the entire blog in a single format. Despite this, Blogger continues to be the reference platform for the calendar so far.
- Please, remember that I am an economist, so the door will always be open for anyone who wants to write a music post, in any language and on any subject. For example, it is thanks to Olga, who has written two posts -in her own language- about the concert halls she frequents that we can imagine the atmosphere that exists in these places.
Sending lots of love to all of you!!💕💗💕
