Re: Embedding YOUTUBE and MPG videos right into posts!
Thank you for this post Teo, and for sharing the information. I was very lucky to have seen and heard Liberace in person, my mom was very fond of his playing and so we went to his concert whenever he came to our city. The music just seemed to flow from his fingers. He was also quite the actor, having great fun showing off his jackets which were lined with every possible sparkling gem.

Re: Somebody also asked me whether Elise plays better than Beethoven
Thank you Teo. I find Lang Lang absolutely fascinating. I try to go to every concert of his when he comes to Toronto. I have a few of his CD's, as well as the book that you mentioned; I even got Lang Lang to sign them. There are quite a few Asian virtuoso musicians, and many more to come. Asia is the new world, drawing on the beauty of the old world, and making it even more dynamic and vibrant than it was. Love, Inda

Re: Somebody also asked me whether Elise plays better than Beethoven
This is very funny Teo Thank you. I have Lang Lang's book, and quite a few of his CD's. I truly admire him. I have seen him in concert and love his playing. He gets so very animated and really emotionally involved with the music that he is playing. There are so many talented Asian musicians at the moment, and I am sure that we will see many more in the next few years. Love, yoko

Re: Chinese Year of the Sheep
Now we have the year of the sheep. It can also be goat or ram.

Schumann's critical antennae - from the book Romantic Music
Romantic Music @ Amazon Books Chapter 2, Shadow and stimulus: the move away from Classicism It is a good deal easier to proclaim that the galant and Classical masters were not primarily Romantics than it is to distinguish what is Romantin in their music from what is not. There are nevertheless certain unmistakable signs of features too disruptive, or too imprecise, to be suitable for full exploitation within Classicism itself. Reference has already been made to the empfindsamer Stil of...

Somebody also asked me whether Elise plays better than Beethoven
In the West, classical music is an old-fashioned art superseded by rock, hip-hop, and other pop forms that speak to the young. Yet in China, a country closed off to the West during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and '70s, classical music is considered the new fashion. Every time I play a concert in China, 90 percent of the audience is younger than twenty years old... Sales of pianos are falling in the United States, but sharply rising in China. China's love for classical music can...
