This Issue’s Music: Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219, 3 MOZART: Violin Concerto No. 5
For five consecutive issues I haven’t posted any classical music. With the Olympics over, and as a sign that life is returning to normal, let’s bring classical music back to the blog homepage again~ Speaking of classical music, apart from Bach, the composer I’ve listened to most is probably Mozart. Maybe the total time I’ve spent listening to Mozart is even greater. But looking back, I realized that I’ve reposted Bach’s works here five times, yet not once have I posted Mozart. That seems a little hard to justify… So, a Mozart piece it is! Mozart’s Fifth Violin Concerto is a fine one, and conveniently there’s a complete, high-speed link…

This Issue’s Music: Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 881

This Issue’s Music: Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 881
http://www.pierretristam.com/Music/bachbwv881-schiff.mp3 Recently I downloaded the APE files of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier to listen to, and ah—well, Bach really is perfection. No wonder this Well-Tempered Clavier is called the “Old Testament” of music history; Chopin even said that the Well-Tempered Clavier was “the sum and end of music.” Sigh, uh, ah, mm… I really have nothing to say… I just found one at random online (though in fact it wasn’t really random at all—I searched through BWV846~893 one by one, and the usable MP3s could be counted on the fingers of one hand…), and am posting it here.

[English] Maugham: The Moon and Sixpence

[English] Maugham: The Moon and Sixpence
[English] Maugham: *The Moon and Sixpence*, translated by Fu Weici, Shanghai Translation Publishing House, August 2006, 12 yuan As for works of literature, I have never dared to pass judgment too readily. To put it simply, this book depicts an artist who exists in my ideal world—and for that reason his life did not surprise me very much. Of course, I completely identify with and admire Charles Strickland’s “conduct”; although my own life could in no way be similar to his, perhaps, as Captain Brono said (p. 247), I too am pursuing the same thing. What Strickland’s attitude toward love and marriage tells us is precisely what I have always…

A Sand County Almanac
[U.S.] Aldo Leopold: Sand County Almanac — Leopold’s Meditations on Nature, translated by Wu Meizhen, revised by Wang Ruixiang, China Social Sciences Publishing House, March 2004 This is the Taiwanese edition of Sand County Almanac (Leopold); it seems to include the most complete set of essays, and should be the best version. From whatever angle you look at it, this book is essential reading. It is praised, together with Walden, as a model of nature-and-humanity writing; it was selected by the New York Public Library as one of the ten must-read books in the humanities in its “Books of the Century” list; it has been called the Bible of ecologism;…
