Tag: Waltz in A minor

Chopin: Waltz in A minor

I am wishing all my readers a very Happy New Year! Let 2022 bring only happiness to all of us. To say goodbye to 2021 I have chosen this piece of elegant simplicity by Frédéric Chopin. Though quite melancholy, it is not without tender touches of hope.

“Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.” Albert Camus

“It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have, and that you read them.” Seneca

"Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters." José Saramago
