it's been 250 years.

To my #3 favourite composer:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOZART! I promise to visit your homeland in Easter, and steal a piece of your gravestone to keep by my bedside for inspiration.


Recommended listening:
  • His set of string quartets dedicated to Haydn
  • All his string quintets
  • Don Giovanni, Magic Flute, Marriage of Figaro
  • All his piano sonatas
  • All his piano concertos
  • All his vocal music, especially the Requiem. You have not lived until you've heard it.
  • Oh, just go listen to everything! You can always borrow my CDs.


    • May your music continue to reign supreme (behind Bach and Debussy, of course) in all our hearts!

    I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.

    like a black lamb led by the nose around the cheer...
    i must be a wuss..
    you have to hear this.
    uh oh, this is not funny.
    lucid dreams, but i'm awake.
    shoo boogeyman!
    spooky new year.
    oh come off it!
    bounce bounce bounce!
    a Narni-AC good day.
