  I had been trying to get my friend Mike-a rock' n roll fan-interested in classical music. When I offered to purchase tickets to a Mozart festival, he willingly agreed to accompany me and seemed to enjoy the symphony 2.


  After the concert, I mentioned how Mozart's music moved me. "At times, I can almost hear his voice in his music and I feel as though he's talking to me," I said.


  Mike nodded his head in solemn 3 agreement. "Yes," he said. "I know what you mean."


  Feeling very pleased that I had made a "convert 4", I asked what he felt the music was saying to him.


  He replied, "it said 'go to sleep, Michael. Go to sleep.
