Even after all this time

Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
– Hafiz

Like Chopin, I believe that music is a language that expresses the inexpressible. Chopin loathed the assignment of descriptive titles to his pieces, known as “program music”, in contrast to his contemporaries and publishers. However, we (Frédéric and I) agree that music may suggest feelings, sensations and states of mind. I propose listening to the three pieces (by Rachmaninoff and Chopin) which accompany today’s theme of Friendship and Romantic Love as a narrative arc:

Unrequited Love
Requited Love
Love Fulfilled
Enjoy!
