What are you listening to now?

[Sorrano]

Thanks for posting that, Peter. It was very delightful to hear that impromptu.

[Joy]

That was very nice to hear. Upon looking into some information concerning his student I found that he died of tuberculosis at that young age. What a shame, so promising.

Or according to some peritonitis - even Chopin's TB was possibly cystic fibrosis.

That is correct and I read that too. In those days many diseases and illnesses were diagnosed wrong and sometimes the 'cure' was much worse than the illness.

Today:

Walton:
Façade
An absolute must IMO

Very interesting! It took me a minute or so to get into this, but then I had no idea what this was all about as I have not heard of Façade. The rhythmic cadence of the text reminds me somewhat of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe, how the rhythm of the words themselves can produce emotion and sensations that go beyond the meaning of the words. Thanks for sharing that, Roehre!
