In Marking Hell

[chani]

I keep eating chocolate and cookies, and drinking coke...

But as usual, Chopin helps me to go through the papers. I don't know why but for me it's the best music to mark on. I tried Holst's  The Planets earlier but it was less efficient. And when it's Samson François who plays Chopin, Marking Hell tastes a bit like heaven.

He looked like a poet and played piano like a poet, and of course his life ended too soon due to a reckless spendthrift lifestyle and a surfeit of alcohol, tobacco and drugs..

I think I'll go on with The Preludes when the beautiful 4th Ballade is finished.

I think it sounds wonderful! Chopin, chocolate, and cookies. I like a little cabernet instead of coke, but otherwise, I'm right there with you.

I just downloaded some of his recordings based on your rec too. I love Chopin.

I'm afraid that cabernet and marking would be un-mixy! I'm drinking tea now.

Chopin is the best.

oh, I just realized you said cabernet and "marking" would be unmixy.

Sorry...my bad.

Cabernet and chocolate would be super-mixy!
