Unessential Words..

I feel lucky this evening. My mother asked me to go a supermarket near our house. She needed cooking oil. This supermarket is in a plaza. I can take 5 minutes on foot to this place since it’s very near. This plaza is small, but it is relatively— an almost complete modern minimalist trading place . You can find a convenience market with a wine boutique at its corner, another corner for Japanese and Korean customer, food court, book store, pet shop, gold store, small furniture store, travel agent, a coffee shop with wifi facility, ATM centre, etc but there is not clothes store in it. The interesting event is “6 a.m. wet market” at the supermarket which is all fresh vegetable, fruits, fish, meats, etc are 10-20% discounted everyday– women ! . Uh well, I am not going to tell you about this plaza. After I got cooking oil, I went up stair. I want to visit the bookstore. There’s an open area in 2^nd floor between the coffee shop and bookstore, and I see original CD and DVD clearance sale. I came by for fun and lucky me I got Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and two DVD movies (one of it is my favorite movie). So, I feel lucky because I get Chopin, and Tchaikovsky and cooking oil . Then I cancelled my intention to go to bookstore.  

I am listening to Concerto No. 2 in F minor op. 21 when I begin to write this posting. By the way, please don’t ask me to explain about F minor or something like that—I don’t know I am an ordinary classical music lover only. This concerto was performed on March 17^th, 1830 at Warsaw. It’s a première.  Most of Chopin’s is sweet (I cannot find another words to describe). It’s romantic and easy to listening than Wagner composition for example. You can find Chopin’s in Impromptu. It’s a movie about Chopin and George Sand or Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dupin, Baroness Dudevant – his affair for years with Hugh Grant as Chopin and Judy Davis as Sand.  

Similar to Chopin, Tchaikovsky’s is romantic also. If you ever heard about Swan-Lake and Nutcracker Ballet you will remember Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky has created them.  Another master piece is 1812 Overture has been used in V for Vendetta movie.  Here, they are the list of Chopin’s and Tchaikovsky’s that I listen to this night;-
