Musical Interlude

Whenever I'm away from the blog for a few weeks (which means things have been personally hectic), it's always good to come back with a musical clip from You Tube. This one brought tears to my weary eyes. Perhaps the Halina Poswiatowska poetry I had been reading beforehand had primed me emotionally, perhaps the cloudy, lonely day outside or that the actor reminded me somewhat of my son. Whatever the reason, this clip melted me. It is a montage of photos from a Polish Chopin film (CHOPIN PRAGNIENIE MILOSCI, 2002) scored with Chopin's Waltz no. 19 in A Minor. I must see this film!
