Pathétique

I have been listening to the second movement of Beethoven's Pathétique, Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor Op. 13 almost everyday lately.  This is my favourite version by French pianist Éric Heidsieck.  I must admit that the sound quality of the video is rather mediocre but I really like the pace, which is a bit faster than most other pianists' playing.

A pleasant day in March:

WATCH OUT!!

My Instagram account has been hacked since 1.5 days ago, March 17.  So far, I have no evidence of my other social media platforms, including this blog, having been compromised (but you'll never know).  In order to protect other legitimate users of the online community, I am going to pause for now all my social media activities until further notice.  Can’t wait to come back and feel safe to share with you again, hopefully soon. 

IMPORTANT: If you are on Instagram ...

I currently have no access to my own Instagram account.  All new posts are not mine.  Anything posted there, including older posts, cannot be trusted.  WATCH OUT for any irregularities and suspicious messages, including direct messages sent to you by the fake “me”.
