Mozart: Sonata for Piano no 8 in A minor- Allegro maestoso

LVB's weirdly underplayed Op.90 sonata in E minor. Here's the second movement played by me. Gentle, bi-polar, inward-looking, darker than it first appears...

Beethoven Piano Sonata OP 90, 2nd movement

★HOY★  suena el himno más hermoso del mundo con el tradicional desfile militar por los Campos Elíseos. Francia celebra el Día de la Fiesta Nacional o Fiesta de la Federación y la Toma de la Bastilla. La Marsellesa, con sus acordes de victoria, marcaron el inicio de una sociedad justa en valores derechos y deberes para la humanidad. 

Contradictoriamente esta semana mientras Estados Unidos, España, Alemania e Inglaterra anuncian la retirada de tropas en Afganistán para 2012, el presidente de Francia, Nicolás Sarkozy, confirmó que seguirá enviando soldados al conflicto en Medio Oriente. Ahora comprendo "El Contrato Social" de Rousseau. --enjoy--

For his 1871 opera celebrating the world of ancient Egypt, Giuseppe Verdi invented a strange musical world full of pungent harmonies and curling arabesques to give an otherworldly character to the prayers to the god Ptah.
