classical tuesday III

hey lovelies,

still swamped with work,

but classical tuesday made me feel better,

yes, yes i know it is wednesday,

but i am drowning in work!

& besides, good classical music should be experienced everyday,

if you ask me!

this week on the menu we have:

Offenbach - Barcarolle
Elgar - Salut D'Amour
Tchaikovsky - None But The Lonely Hearts
Schubert - Standchen (Schwanengesang, D 957: no 4)
Saint-Saens - The Swan ( Le Cygne )

oh & a few days ago,

i could not tell you which exactly,

this week feels like one long (never ending) day,

i made brownies for the first time, late at night during a study break.

my wonderful friend caitie saw it as an ideal opportunity,

to add in some of her famous mockery & post it on her blog

lots of hugs,

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,
