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.
