Given pop culture's recent odd-but-paradoxically-predictable rage for pilfering conveniently public domain stories and then presenting them in various shades of absolute post-9/11 grit- and agstiness, and my own affinity for German and narratives with significant cultural-anthropological-historical import, it behooves me to actually read die Brüder's Kinder- und Hausmärchen. Actually its been on my list a long time, but fairly low on it. The format also suits my current rather short attention span.
Listened to Beethoven's Piano Sonata Numero Dos in A major this evening (actually, wee morning) as performed by the uniquely-classical-rather-than-romantic-leaning Richard Goode. That's the second lowest pinnacle in the thirtytwo-peaked "mountain range." The best is yet to come.
