Performance

Is the name of the movie I went to see on the recommendation of a friend.  It is all about a string quartet that has been together for 25 years and is practising for its 25th anniversary concert when the cello player is diagnosed with Parkinson's.  Whereupon  the lives and loves of the other members of the quartet are thrown into disarray.  In the real world of course that does not happen but a diagnosis of PD does have effect not only the person with Parkinson's but their nearest and dearest.

It is a poignant story and has its moving moments which we have in real life too.  A bonus was the lovely Beethoven quartet op 131 which was played in the movie  and which I will borrow from the library to listen to again.  And again . And again.  Music having something in it.
