Grosse Fuge is amazing. So much tense, twisted beauty.

one year passes...

omg @ the final allegro of the 12th - Beethoven virtually invents Blue Cheer or Killdozer or whoever for 10 seconds (twice)

'cavatina' from the 13th really bringing me to my knees this morning -- such an intense gut-punch of longing. it feels like it could have been written recently and still would be every bit as moving and fresh

timely revive - i've been listening to the 13th (and The Große Fuge) a lot the last few days. Cavatina was the final song on the voyager record, too. can't really top that, imo.
