deep in a faust rabbithole this week! found this ridiculous review (nyt) where stephen spender is bashing jarrell's translation, but clearly it's far better than the alternative, and haunting in a completely unique way...
my korean homework was to describe my last week 이번주 캐리포니어에 그리고 치카고에 갔어요. 유명한 바이올리니스트랑 연주했어요. 우리는 익숙한 음악을 연주했지만 새로운 아이디어들을 찾고 싶었어요. 콘새트들은 좋았어요. 지금 제 소설을 써고 싶어요.
if you ever need to set the mood for a languorous make-out session at home with your beloved, may i suggest the last movement of the henry cowell piano concerto https://t.co/9iLXiF9u1Y
It has been fun these last days to practice a bit of the gorgeous Grieg violin sonata and be so happy and then switch to Ives and be so happy to demolish the Grieg
today i asked chatGPT to find some letters where beethoven complained about pianists and it managed to screw up that simple assignment and also lie about the contents
@DrConstantineHQ mine began this way... and then proceeded to "paraphrase" some more to say that beethoven disliked rubato (but when i pressed it, it realized i was "right to push back")
