People I admire
These at the top are people with a twist, a particular peculiarity of their own, that makes them stand apart in the crowd of genius. May be not at the lead, may be not on the top, but somewhere here on the side, where they seem to look at the rest of them.
Below are those that would have been among them if not for some fleetingly accidental reason that make the connection less personal. It carries on like this in various steps.
My favourites pieces of classical music
This is a list of my favourite songs. They are not really supposed to be listened together. Also, without any discussion as for the choice, they might appear an odd selection, although most are—of course—widely recognized as among the finest masterpieces ever conceived by man. I kept as a rule never to repeat the author, a rule that I broke with Bach, very thinly on account that his authorship of the first piece is disputed.
- Toccata E Fuga, Bach
- Première gymnopédie, Satie
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Theme, Brion
- Duo des fleurs, (from Lakmé), Delibes
- Les oiseaux dans la charmille, (from Les contes d’Hoffmann) Offenbach
- (no excerpt yet but see here)
- Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen, (from Matthäuspassion), Bach
- Cha cha, (from West Side Story), Bernstein
- La danse macabre, Saint Saens
- (no excerpt yet but see here)
- Totus Floreo, (from Carmina Burana), Orff
- Mad Rush, Philip Glass (read more)
