Classics
I discovered a 'Top 100 Love Song' bargain-bin CD of my mother's and so now I'm typing away to the sound of Mozart's 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - Romance' (as it says on the back cover). :-) It's beautiful. Kinda puts me in the mood to read some 17th century romance... and if I drank wine now would be an excellent time to bring it out. I feel very girly.Ah, Fur Elise! I used to beg my old piano techer to play this for me. It was amazing, skipping from the stilted rhythms of my practice jingles to that beautiful lilting melody. I loved it. ^ - ^
I wish I had a piano - ah, but no! I have a keyboard that was a gift from my grandparents hidden under my bed, and almost two months of free time to practise. I hereby declare that I will be able to play at least 10 seconds of 'Fur Elise' by the end of January (and without laying fingers to a keyboard in about a decade).
This is my new favourite CD... Pachelbel's 'Canon' has just finished. It's gorgeous...
Bach! :-D This music seems to call for warmth, wide open ballrooms, gowns of silk and brocade; for paintings by Rembrandt gracing gleaming, wood-panelled walls...
*an hour or so later* I've been browsing the Museum Art section of allposters.com (the good ones I go off and find in better quality elsewhere). The classical CD is on its second run-through, after a gap for a bit of Aerosmith - I've found a favourite, Love Story by Lai, and rediscovered just how much I love Monet. Mum's driven to port to return Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet to the public library and buy fish 'n' chips for Friday tea. ^ - ^
Corot! Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot! I'd never heard of him before today, but I love his landscapes. They're full of light and natural beauty, art which captures the inherent magic of a place. I'll stick one in for you.
Now I think it's time to go play with photobucket and upload some stuff. Thanks for reading. ^ - ^ Bye!
