Fryderyk Chopin: Waltz in A minor, Op. 34, No. 2 I know, what a catchy title right? I love this piece though. It makes me wanna get naked with my honey and play games under the covers. Anybody else get that feeling? No? Maybe I'm just a weirdo.
Argh! Every time I see the name "Chopin" it reminds me of the time in high school when I was preparing an assignment for speech class and my best friend, a classical music nerd, convinced me that I was pronouncing the name wrong. Of course, I was actually pronouncing it correctly (show-pan), but deferring to his wisdom, when I delivered the speech, I changed my pronunciation to "choppin'", thereby garnering the derision of the entire class, quiet scorn from the teacher, and giving my "friend" the smug satisfaction of a prank well-pulled.
