getting classical

chopin is a boss. i've been growing especially fond of his mazurkas. they're fun listens, especially when the pianist plays with the appropriate rubato.

why do some people pronounce bach's name as "bah"? is that the german pronunciation or something?

  1. ahhh i wish i could like this post like a facebook post! chopin is a GENIUS. you should check out some of his ballades, or sonatas. my by far favorite is his cello and piano sonata. gorgeouss :)

    and bach is really pronounced ba-cchh, the "ccchh" as if you are about to hack up some spit. sorry for the poor analogy.
