Chopin & Sand

FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN PORTRAIT. Painting by Eugéne Delacroix, 1938.

"O periódico de arte "Allgemaine Musikalische", da maior responsabilidade naquele tempo, disse que Chopin era dotado de uma extrordinária delicadeza em seu dedilhado e de uma indescritível destreza e agilidade empregadas em favor da mais profunda e sutil sensibilidade. " A clareza de sua interpretação", continua o mesmo jornal, traz a impressa o estigma do grande gênio, revelando-se um virtuose favorecido pela natureza, e que sem um reclame antecipado, aparece no horizonte da arte como um verdadeiro e brilhante meteoro".

*There is a lot of discourse around gender and sexuality with these two historical figures and it can get pretty ugly. I know most of us have opinions, but absent a time machine we can't know for sure, so please be gentle with each other.

What if I did something horrible to my notification box.

I made a poll with some of the newer trends. I vastly miscalculated what the results would be due to how close the Ides were and how few people knew about the rosin thing.

But now, I redeem myself with the classics and I'll probably miss one so feel free to reblog and make fun of me for it so I can get a larger sample size.

Have fun (:

in the 2008 bbc3 supernatural dramedy "being human", the moment of passing from life to death is depicted as a personalised door appearing in front of a character to symbolise moving on from their experience of dying and progress to the afterlife. a central theme of annie sawyer's character is that she will help other characters make peace and look for their door but then refuse to walk through her own. meanwhile for mitchell it is a recurrent theme that he will stand in front of an open door and look back, while george is defined by the fact that he spends three whole seasons trying not to acknowledge the door at all. if we map this visual metaphor for all three characters' ways of (not) acknowledging death onto the ancient greek tale of orpheus and euridyce we will find that all three of them take turns embodying the role of the lost lover and the seeker in turn. in this essay, i will
