Almarg: After I had to put my dog down, I had a dream we were playing in the yard. The whole time we were playing, I heard Chopin's piano sonata No. 3...........maybe I shouldn't have posted this.
To me the most beautiful 2 minutes of music Chopin ever wrote is Prelude #4. It has that otherworldy, divinely insipred quality to it....
