New York - Day 5: Les Adieux

Dear Mr. Barenboim,
Please understand that I carry the utmost respect for your impressive intellect, Richard Gere-like charm, emotional dedication, and that thing you do with your shoulders when you play a big chord. Your continuing devotion and amazing mind has forced us all to redirect our perspective of Beethoven to a simultaneously cerebral and emotional level.

I am somewhat disturbed, however, with the amount of notes that you miss - not to be mistaken with poor technique (I know you have good technique, or else...your name wouldn't be Barenboim). Please know that I do understand you are undertaking an impressive feat by devoting over 50 hours to the Beethoven sonatas in three weeks; however, under normal circumstances, and by normal I mean not in the public graciousness of a respected concert hall, your Les Adieux Sonata would have me eat bratwurst, subject myself to a Lambda Lil Sis website, and rim a goat, all at the same time. This is saying quite a lot, as I do not care for bratwurst in the least. To make matters worse, during the standing ovation you received after the sonata, I felt a bit like the third-person protagonist in an existentialist novel (the type where the main character looks at himself from the outside in pity, disgust, and horror).

I hope that the rest of the concerts are much better, and that is a very sincere hope.

Still in admiration,
Carlos

On a lighter note:
Only Joe has bothered to answer the test on my profile: what percentage of your buddylist is Asian?
My results: 187 out of 200
Joe's results: His buddylist was just erased, but out of his emerging one: 38 out of 42

However:
