Just realized there's a Liszt transcription of Beethoven's 7th.
Then again, what hasn't Liszt transcribed for his own piano glory?
I am now resigned to the fact that I have to learn this - it's too wunderbar to pass up. Just the second mvt, mind. No way in hell I could try for the first.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert - aren't they just the cutest? Blake won himself some great awards and so did Miranda, I'm so happy for both of them! I'm so glad Taylor Swift didn't win female vocalist over Miranda because seriously - when is Taylor country? She was once upon a time and then voila - pop! :D
Anyways - I'm so happy for Miranda, ( Read more... ) -

Hummel
I've been listening to a lot of Hummel lately - mostly b/c I saw it was a 'new' CD at the library (amidst the great B.B.B's...) I grabbed it because I saw Steven Hough was the pianist and I remember hearing some Hummel somewhere along the line.
Hummel is basically a composer midway from Classical to Romance - Wiki gives an awesome bio, but I'm ( Read more... ) -
I heart Alaska
Hey Alaska!
How you doin'? I bet you're foggy right now...and pretty cold. I miss you bunches, though - I've never experienced such fresh air in my life - plus my face always felt wonderful - something my sister and I both noticed...fresh air=fresh skin!
I understand about the whole 'light' problem but I get the reason why - you just don't want to ( Read more... )
