dis-moi oui




my most favourite movie.




It's quite simple and common in terms of scenario.


You could say it's like soapoperatic...never mind.


I repetitively watched this movie 10 yrs ago ish.


It would make me really cry every time.


I don't know why so, though.


I guess it's probably because it makes me remind lots and


lots of things happened to me around that time.


PLUS! !


another reason is because of the sound track,


Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante,


one of my favourites in Chopin's work.


This is originally composed for the piano and orchestla,


like small "concerto", but piano solo version is better known as


the original.


Several different instrumental versions are frequently used


in this movie, which is interesting.


Andante Spianato is, as the name of "spianato" indicated,


musically so "deep", as it were.





normally played by "attacca".

American Ballet Theater

went to lincoln center for ABT.
saw "Sleeping beauty".
A Japanese dancer, Yuriko Kajiya, from Aichi prefecture
was nominated as an important part.
Her making effort toward ballet was extraordinary.
I also went for "Giselle" another day.
It was sooooo fantastic!!
Such a shame, I've just missed "Le Corsaire"......



gospel

visited a couple of different churches in Harlem to have services every sunday these days. tried to sing gospel. made me think lots of things.
the most famous chapel is Abyssinian Baptist Church.
