Even today coming back from school drop-off, I was humming it! and yes truthoughts, it does converge in a spectacular way, everything seeming to come back to us... Violin -- yes, she's got nimble fingers. She's not nearly at vibrato yet (at least another year I think?), but her teacher is technically very sound and keen to get her fingerwork coming naturally. He's been teaching for many, many years and has a vast store of pieces, some very old, so every once in a while she pitches up with these rather dusty, beautiful folk tunes that utilise her technique but aren't boring like scales etc. And with R always ready on piano to accompany her, it's just wonderful....

I have never heard that song before, but I felt lost in it. I think that my favorite part was toward the ending. It was like watching memories converge to the present (not sure if that made any sense)... or like ripples in a dark pond. Anyway, thank you for sharing that... it was lovely.

The piece is so beautiful, and I really need it today. I'm sitting here waiting for the arrival of my books, and with every passing minute I feel the panic rising higher and higher in my chest. This bit of Chopin really helped! Thank you for this little gift. The piece is so beautiful, and I really need it today.
