The Musical Birthday Series (b. 2019), with this post this blog begins its eighth year, although there are a few gaps when I didn't write for short periods of time. I am hoping to fill these in in due course.

 

 

Anniversary Limerick 

And as we begin on year eight,

I will take the occasion to state

That this blogger will stay

At his labor each day

With his whimsical, rhythmical gait.

Frédéric Chopin (1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849) remains one of the most popular of the great nineteenth century composers. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chasing the Fantaisie-Impromptu

When Chopin's great tune was debased

By lyrics where rainbows are chased,

Some musical snobs

Were upset by the mob's

Display of deplorable taste.
