Bach J S , BWV 849, Well Tempered Clavier, I Prelude and Fugue #4 In C S...


András Schiff was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1953. He began piano lessons at the age of five with Elisabeth Vadasz and continued his musical studies at the Ferenc Liszt Academy with Professor Pal Kadosa, Gyorgy Kurtag, and Ferenec Rados. He also worked with George Malcolm in London. Recitals and special projects take him to all of the international music capitals and include cycles of the major keyboard works of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Barok. Between 1999 and 2005, Mr. Schiff performs all of Mozart's piano concertos at the Mozartwoche of the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum in Salzburg; he has created his own ensemble, the Cappella Andrea Barca, for this project.

See from your heart ....

If what you see by the eye doesn't please you,
 then close your eyes and see from the heart.
Because ...
the heart can see beauty and love
more than the eyes can ever wonder.

The Shortest History of EUROPE by John Hirst


你一定愛讀的極簡歐洲史:為什麼歐洲對現代文明的影響這麼深: The shortest history of EUROPE
作者:約翰.赫斯特
原文作者:John Hirst
譯者:席玉蘋
出版社:大是文化
出版日期:2010年

The Shortest Summary:
歐洲文明,是三大匪夷所思的元素組合而成:
1.古希臘和羅馬文化
2.基督教教義(猶太教的一個奇特分支)
3.對羅馬帝國進行侵略的日耳曼蠻族戰士文化。
 
為什麼歐洲老是搶第一?因為沒有一個統一的大國,似中國皇帝般的威權,不同的民族間,城邦間,國家間,不斷的侵略,競爭,融合,學習;不斷的在錯誤中毀滅學習創新成長。致使歐洲在思想上,文學,藝術,科學上,在二十世紀之前,都是搶第一!

A Japanese Love Story: Who Kissed Me...?



當你失去全部記憶,重新認識你自己時,那會是個什麼樣的世界呢...?

在此生此世,我們可能永遠不會再見面...

我會用一顆最誠摯的心,對待我心愛的人,我的親人以及我的朋友們。...。
這兩天感觸很深;

看著一個個她替我挑選的珠寶作品,想起了她的一句話:
每一顆寶石,都是精心之作,要好好欣賞好好保護,好好愛惜。
當我詢問起諮詢費用時,她總是說,好朋友在乎的是心靈的交會!
總記得那兩三小時的電話長談...,
她還特別來告訴我,那幾個名醫很好...

一直以來,我都相信,
現在,永恆的別離發生在身邊了!

我深深覺得,
也許,在我們會心的牽著手,喝著茶,相互笑鬧的同時,
也意味著,在此生此世,我們可能永遠不會再見面...
說來,便熱淚盈眶,只覺得,我們必須~~~...

"珍惜",真誠的珍惜每一分鐘,每一個當下,每個有愛的人!
