My god, I love Chopin.
One of my favorite scenes out of any movie is in Impromptu (about him & George Sand - really a great movie), is where Judy Davis-as-George is laying under a piano while Hugh Grant-playing-Chopin is playing - she's stretched out underneath it, blissful look on her face. I think I had that same dreamy look on my face tonight while leaned up against a post waiting for the light to change crossing Keelung. Even with buses and taxis and scooters whizzing by at an alarming pace, it's gorgeous.
I like to spin around wildly to his waltzes, though they are really too fast to waltz to. But the roof is good for some galloping around like a madwoman. But I mean really, how can you NOT want to? I still want to see Jerome Robbins' ballet, Dances at a Gathering, which is rather sparsely done & accompanied by a sole pianist doing ... Chopin, what a surprise. My mum still talks about that ballet tho. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a ballet in years. Ok, we do go to the Folger fairly frequently for early music stuff, which I suppose is worth a bit more than ballet as far as 'can't get this everywhere', but ....
Did you read her latest novel? It's not even literature - it's drainage. The only good books she ever wrote were when she was with me: every morning, while she was sleeping, I'd cross out half her adjectives.
