Classical music

First, I would like to apologize for not posting a while. Life in general got away from me, and I am now just starting to get it back...just in time for Christmas craziness. X_X But, here's a lil thing about something my parents got for me.

I don't believe I ever posted about my favorite bday gift from my parents. For my bday, my parents bought me a 4 disc collection of piano classics. All the greats, from Tchaikovsky to Liszt, Beethoven to Rachmaninoff, right on down to the always popular Chopin. The shortest CD is, I think, 60 min long. And there are 4 of them!! Disc 1 is eight tracks of Beethoven. Disc 2 has Chopin, Grieg, and one track of Liszt. Disc 3 is Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Disc 4 is Tchaikovsky, Schumann, and more Tchaikovsky. Oh, wonderful amazing piece of auditorial gorgeousness!! Each one also fits a mood. Disc 1 is lullaby like, with the notes gently soaring from one to the other. This one is great if your mind is having trouble slowing down for sleep. Disc 2 is still gentle, but has enough of a prominent beat to keep you awake. I use this one to help relax me when I'm high-strung but I can't go to sleep. Discs 3 and 4 are classical music at it's most passionate. These two are my favorites. Each composition just sets a fire in me that I can't explain. Every CD is different, but I absolutely love every single one of them. :-D

So, there's my lil contribution to the wide world of blogging. Laterz!
