    Waltz Op64 No2 is memorized. Still polishing of course. I'm seriously looking at Nocturne Op 9 No 1. I mean, it's the first Nocturne in the Henle Urtext. I already learned No 2 and had it memorized a few years ago. I will bring that one back under the hands at the same time I learn No 1. I chose No 1 because of my previous mention of it being the first piece in the book, but also familiarity and it's a beautiful piece of music. It seems more than a little intimidating. I am going to play the first few bars tomorrow at lesson. I'm not sure this is the Nocturne that my teacher has in mind for me. He just asked if I had a published book of the Nocturnes and I did not. So I ordered one. lol

    The comments are interesting too. It's perhaps not apples to apples but it's a good development, nonetheless.

    said in So let me get this straight…: Interesting. I wonder if they overcharged (assault with a deadly sandwich?) or if this is just plain jury nullification. https://x.com/justinamash/status/1986526666831675584?s=46

    My dad said to me “Do something you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” He was right. I majored in philosophy and have been unemployed since.

    I heard David Sacks on a podcast call him ‘Scam Bankman Fraud’. lol I’m guessing that’s personal. Given his role in the administration that doesn’t bode well for his ability to purchase a pardon.

    @taiwan_girl said in The Artist Formerly Known as Prince: Disgraced former prince Andrew once had 40 prostitutes brought to his five-star hotel over four days during a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, his biographer has claimed. Fucking legend.
