God damn it. Just checked out a book of Beethoven sonatas, and lemme tell you it's a damn good thing it has a long loan period. Silly little me thought that after three years of no lessons and very little serious playing I could just sit down and play the Pathetique sonata.

Me: *whistling, opens book*
Sixty-fourth notes: YAAARRR!
Me: *SQUEAK*

And that was when I remembered how much my sight reading sucks.

Beethoven. What a novel way to procrastinate on all those readings I have stacked up.

And by the way, I finally got around to listening to the random Voltaire mp3s I had lying 'round. And now I am strangely amused. No, make that extremely amused. Especially by this song.

My darling, you are so metaquoted for that bit about the 64th notes.

Beethoven. What a bastard. Attacking you with 64th notes. Have I EVER played something with a 64th note? I don't think so.

Hmm. You know who's fun, and easy? (OMG. That came out so wrong.) Schumann. Not terribly difficult to learn, but incredibly pretty.

Voltaire PWNZ0RZ. <3 Headless Waltz.

*grumble* Beethoven really liked those rapid strings of tiny notes, didn't he? I don't think I've ever played anything of his that didn't have at least 32nd notes.

I shall remember to check out Schumann.

And thanks for the metaquote, darling.
