Boulez Structures - Structures I (1952)

Went to S's place and typed the music examples for Boulez's 'Structures I' last Sunday night.  Very inspiring.  The vertical design of the sonority immediately attracted my attention.

Garrick Ohlsson-Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 (蕭邦第二號鋼琴協奏曲)

大師親筆簽名樂曲解說及會後所購蕭邦全集
上個月底去雪梨時順道去歌劇院聽了場音樂會. 訂票時猶豫了一下不知如何取捨.  歌劇院演的是 Mozart 的 Le nozze di Figaro (莫札特-費加洛的婚禮). 音樂廳則是有美國當代作曲家 John Adams 的 Dr. Atomic, Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2, Beethoven Symphony No. 5 (亞當斯原子博士, 蕭邦第二號鋼琴協奏曲, 貝多芬第五號交響曲).

Realising another thing on 2010 list


One of the 2010 plan is to learn a string instrument.  Thanks to H, I have finally own a violin.  Personally, I would love to learn the cello but there is simply no space to store a cello in my room.
