There are several things that soothe my tired soul: soaking in frightfully hot water, reading, and listening to Chopin; the Ballades specifically. So, tonight I am listening to that which soothes my soul. S'il vous plaît, Monsieur Chopin, jouent le piano pour moi?

Posted by: Nathan at September 7, 2004 10:01 PMWait a minute, I thought you spoke Spanish, not French? Don't tell me that you know French and somehow after all these years I don't know that? Surely, you just have a few phrases in your pocket and not mastery over a third language. You my dear, are a mysterious woman!
Posted by: Kris at September 8, 2004 07:38 AMChopin is always beautiful. I don't listen to him a lot, though, because for some reason I strongly dislike the sound of the piano (especially the solo piano).
While you're at it, I would also reccommend you some of the Lyric Pieces of Edvard Grieg. They're as beautiful as any of Chopin's, and they are able to express a wider range of emotions without extremism. 100% recommended.
(P.S. I could prepare an MP3 or OGG file of one of these so that you might get a taste. Let me know if you're interested.)
Blessings,
Eduardo
