Today I learned that the  :'( (cry) emoji doesn't work.
I also learned that said emoji can be put into posts by copying it's address and making it an image:

Today I learned that I forgot the name of my old account on this forum, and need to use my alt account to chat with y'all!  ;D

Schubert is kinda overrated
Schubert is underrated in my opinion, no matter how popular he already is. He's my 2nd favorite composer. Maybe it's just cause my teacher says she doesn't like Schubert. Just my opinion.

All piano stuff:

You can't say his music is overrated without hearing this, of course. I don't know anyone who has.


Classic Schubert. What a beautiful, mature piece.


Melancholy and has quite a finale feel, appropriate for Schubert's upcoming death.


Another popular sonata. Barren and dry at places but always somehow both emotional flowery in these locations


I've been really hung up on this one as of late.


If you're wondering, I really admire Uchida as a pianist. And yes, I do hold the unpopular preference of major over minor. ;)

If you've listened to all those pieces then I can't really say anything else.

Today I learned that my ampersand button doesn't work, and that getting a laptop keyboard fixed is ridiculously expensive.  >:(
Edit: apparently none of my number buttons work.

The Rachmaninoff Cadenza is incredibly underrated

Different parts of the world observe daylight savings time at different points in the year.
Even more reason to ditch that old thing!
