nite chat: 6:27

liszt makes me think of chopin
so
i was going through
trying to find the pieces
that were ones i loved
i had a bunch of classical records
but
they were record club
so
i have no memory of which ones
there was also a collection of great works
by some publishing company
that probably aren't available
there was
among the lot
a lot of bernstein
and heifetz
and
beyond that
i get a little hazy
but

listening through abunch of chopin
to find the piecesi remember fondly

i found a piece of music
that is stuck in my head
thet i hum
or vocalize
probably even more than the unfinished symphony
or swan lake
or things from the nutcracker
and
i never know what it is
or where it came from
except
i'm pretty sure it comes from ballet class
at houston ballet
we had a real person
at a real piano
rather than a record player
like the other places

and they played this piece of music
the one permanently
of all classical music
the most stuck in my head
and it is
Waltz No. 7 in c sharp minor, Op. 64,2
