Beethoven in an outfit
As a classical pianist who, once upon a time, was not a big fan of the classical period in music and despises alberti bass, committing to a Sonata I like playing was difficult. Beethoven’s Sonata Op. 31 No. 3., however, proved me wrong.
Playing Beethoven’s happiest composition enlightens me. Although the character is light, dramatic subitos add color. The piece is challenging for my fingers and different from others i’ve studied for there are no tear-evoking melodies or desperate chordal progressions as there are in Brahms’ Rhapsodies.
Two months ago, I walked past this wall…and 10 other walls…but there was something sunnier about this one. Hm, I wonder what. The warm hues drew me in, so I snapped a photo. Today, I snapped a couple more.
I often find it difficult to make decisions — if you who know me personally, you’re likely nodding your head. Think Closet in Manhattan, New York, is, however, hands down my favorite boutique. The pieces are made in Korea and feature banana printed skirts and music note blouses. I picked this dress and love the graphic floral lace pattern. I admit, it’s SHORT, so, I slipped into a pair of grey tights. Beethoven died the year the Victorian period began, therefore, I thought the pointed collar inspired by the lavish designs of the Queen’s era went harmoniously with the Sonata.
34 weeks ago, I lusted over a pair of vintage sunglasses that looked identical to these. When I saw this design on Choies.com, I freaked. There was no doubt in my mind — rare, I know — that I had to add them to my cart. These sunnies are creative and boss — like Beethoven.
