Pretty much all of these pieces are awesome! (except the contemporary ones with names which I haven't studied; I don't know those ones well.) alas, I don't know of anywhere to upload the things, so if you'd like to listen to them your best bet is probably Youtube or something similar.

it makes me sad that you don't have composers next to your music; i am having issues remembering composers. D:

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I can edit them in. It might take a bit, though ;) any in particular?

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

XD. you don't have to! XD. Though I'm wondering who did the violin concerto in d major. XD (and I love the brandenburg concertos. why is all my classical music in SD damnit! :()

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

The only one I don't like of Bach's is A Mighty Fortress is Our God. The one that is going to be played at the funeral XD

The Violin Concerto in D Major is by Beethoven. :D

In SD?

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

San Diego. XD. I'm in Los Angeles for my spring break,but I left my entire classical music collection on my external HD in SD. XD


Oooh, I see! I'm going to youtube that, because I cannot for the life of me remember what it sounds like, but I remember it being amazing. (And then I'll go youtube Mendelssohn's Concerto in D Minor, which is what I thought it was originally but I realized that it said major instead of minor. XD

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

Oh, nice, you're on spring break already! :)

Do! It's kind of playful, actually.

Yeah, the two are really similar words and I often skim right past them XD It's easier when they have names, like Pathétique.

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

:) yup! i am happy. XD

I am listening to it right now! It makes me smile. :)

I wish all composers gave their songs extra titles. Seriously, it would make life so much easier. But then they'd probably start overlapping, and it would become less easy.

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun. I want spring break now XD

I know, right? Especially the ones that are just "Sonata in D Major" and they've written over well over a hundred - after awhile your eyes sort of glaze over and you can't remember.

Hm, looks like the SBL is interfering with email notifications again.

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

Awww, when is your spring break?

My eyes are glazing over at the very thought of the words "sonata in d major." XD

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

I believe it's the next week. OH MY GOD MY EXAMS.

>.>

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS! \o/


just think about spring break coming up. :)

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

They don't happen until after but I'm scareeeed. Because there will be approximately ten or so packed together in May. (IB exams, I hate you so much...)

:D

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

DDDDDDD:<

I remember my IB exam. It was not fun. :( Good luck on them though! Small amounts of studying over long periods is your friend. :)

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

ikr? What subjects did you take?

Exactly, especially considering the curriculum and all the myriad little complexities...

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

I only did IB English HL because that class was combined with AP English in my High School. I did the AP path XD I did AP Chem, Biology, Chinese, Calculus (AB), English and US History, though my exams were spread over two years... I had a day where i was running from my Calculus exam to my Chinese one though, and that was painful. XD. Especially since my Calculus one ran late. XD

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool. I think IB's bigger on the East Coast or something like that *makes vague arm motions* Your exams weren't in the same classroom? (since the classes are often much bigger than regular classes, the exams are mostly taken in the same larger room.)

I'm glad IB squashes calculus into Math; that Calculus to Chinese sounds painful >.>

I'm going to sleep - goodnight! See you tomorrow.

[starriheavens.livejournal.com]

good night!

I went to International School in TW, so we had a curriculum for both. XD. And most of the exams were in the same classroom, but Chinese requires computers, so we were put in smaller rooms for that. XD

[keppiehed.livejournal.com]

Your best friend is fortunate, indeed, if they rate Chopin's Mazurka when you think of them.

Great meme!

[silverflight8.livejournal.com]

I know, right? :D I love that piece.

:) do it! I'd love to see what your music player is like.
