Was yesterday (March 1st)

What an incredible composer. If you haven't spent some quality time with him, you should do so now. For an informative primer: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...021806498.html

Listening to his Etudes now

For piano, Chopin is hard to beat. His waltzes have to be some of the greatest music ever written.
To think he died of tuberculosis, now (usually) easily treated.....*sigh*

Ah, that must be the reason I felt like starting the day with a disc of his Mazurkas (Rubinstein, 1938-1939).

And that's nothing compared to the ones we lost to syphilis...

There was some thought that it was cystic fibrosis, which still usually causes a premature death.
