Next time I visit I will have a new appreciation for Chopin, thanks. I am now reminded of a visit to Paris several years ago, wandering around the Cimetière du Père Lachaise.

And since my continually replenished book pile should keep me reading for the next hundred years or two, I will content myself with those choice morsels for now.

As odd as this sounds, I consider it a great compliments to be thought of as a rare and dying breed. If you know what I mean, which I think you do. Corina -- Yeah. There's something different about writing a letter by hand. It's a whole 'nother mindset. Am — Thanks.

You're right about the lost art of correspondence. I think it is a great loss and probably one of the worst side effects of the Internet.

However, I thought the film was wonderfully entertaining, and I loved Julian Sands as Liszt, and Bernadette Peters as his mistress.

Have you seen "Impromptu"? I don't remember particularly liking Chopin as played by Hugh Grant, so if you haven't seen it perhaps you shouldn't. It's mostly from George Sand's perspective anyway.
