classical tuesday II

morning!

sitting in a library, with the most wonderful view,
the fog has surrounded the entire toronto sky,
but some of the skyscrapers are peaking up above the fog,
wish you could see this!

sipping on my americano,
speaking of which,do you know how the drink inherited its name?
an americano is essentially espresso shots and hot water,
during the american civil war, the soldiers, wanting to preserve the espresso for as long as possible,
would soak the shots with hot water.

on to important things: classical tuesday II

Mozart - Rondo Alla Turca
Nandel - Largo Opera (from 'Xerves')
Rachmaninoff - Vocalise for Violin
Kreisler - Liebeslied
Gounod - Ave Maria

Kisses,
