le coucou.its one of the prettiest pieces i've ever heard! le coucou, translated to the cuckoo, as in cuckoo bird type of cuckoo. am glad i have the score for it, its quite an easy piece in terms of technicality, but i really want to master it and play it on a harpsichord! am listening to the harpsichord version right now and it really rawks. although it IS meant to be played on a piano, being composed in the 20th century by daquin. his only memorable piece, i believe.but anyways! its really so nice i love the modulation to major in between the minor and repeated segments. i dont know why its termed the cuckoo, its very much like a dance in fact. the kind of dance thats very quick and rushed, in a flash between two people who are not meant to be together. sniff, its beeyooteefool.
"why're you crying?" " because sometimes beauty does that to me." [perfect] by judith mcnaught (a trashy romance novel).so true. not that im crying while listening to this piece although its absolutely gorgeous, but i do believe that there're so many things in the world that can make a person cry, and beauty's definitely one of them. =D i cant recall myself crying because of beauty though. hmph.
been on a classical music craze tonight so for the first time in two weeks i turned off FORT MINOR and JJ LIN and switched to tchaikovsky, & the lot. which was very nice. and argh I WANT A HARPSICHORD. haha of course that is all rather ridiculously ridiculous, if there are any harpsichords around they'd be standing around concert halls and stuff. not in my house where it'd be destroyed by annoying children passing by and slamming on it like they would a piano. and like what they do to my guzheng and guitar. SNIFFLES.
shall end with a lovely quote i saw today:
it was such a lovely day i thought it a pity to get up. - w. somerset maugham.
