Album Review: Sonata In B Flat Minor, Sonata For Piano & A Child’s Picture Book Toccata (1951) Okay, so here’s the deal—this album is one of those hidden treasures you stumble upon when you’re not even looking for it. Released way back in 1951 by Dorian Records, it’s a mixtape of classical vibes that feels like flipping through an old photo album. You know, the kind where every picture has its own story but also ties into something bigger? That’s what this collection does, blending works from Chopin and La Montaine with tracks that just stick to your soul. Let me tell ya about two tracks I can’t shake off. First up: "Marche Funebre." Oh man, this one hits hard. It’s slow, heavy, and honestly feels like walking behind someone at their funeral while remembering all the good times. The piano doesn’t scream sadness—it whispers it instead, like a quiet ache that stays with you long after the last note fades. There’s something raw about how simple yet powerful it is. Like…you don’t need fireworks to feel things deeply, right? This track reminds me of sitting alone on a rainy day, staring out the window, letting thoughts wash over me without judgment. Pretty intense stuff. Then there’s "Even Coolies Watch The Sunset," which is such a weirdly beautiful title, isn’t it? At first listen, it feels kinda playful, but then it sneaks up on you with these warm, golden tones that make you think of sunsets yourself. Not the Instagram-filtered ones either—the real-deal kind, where colors bleed into each other and time slows down for a sec. It’s got this restrained energy, almost as if the music knows it doesn’t have to try too hard to be stunning. And honestly? That restraint makes it unforgettable. Feels like catching a moment of peace amidst chaos, ya know? The rest of the album flows together nicely, though some tracks lean more traditional than others. Tracks like "Grave: Doppio Movimento" and "Scherzo" bring that classic Chopin flair we all secretly love, while pieces like "A Child’s Picture Book" add a touch of whimsy. It’s like they threw a party and invited both sophistication and nostalgia. But here’s the thing—listening to this record feels personal, almost intimate. Maybe because it was made in the US during a time when vinyls were still king, or maybe because the artists poured their hearts into it. Whatever the reason, it’s clear this wasn’t just slapped together. Someone cared. And hey, here’s the kicker—I found myself wondering why albums like this aren’t talked about more today. Sure, streaming playlists are great, but they lack…what’s the word? Soul? Yeah, that’s it. So next time you’re scrolling Spotify, maybe take a break and hunt down gems like this. Who knows? You might find yourself falling in love with sounds older than your grandparents.

Born: 1810-03-01 (Duchy of Warsaw) at present Żelazowa Wola, Poland. Died: 1849-10-17 (Paris, France). Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (1 March 1810  17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Chopin was born in the Duchy of Warsaw in a small town called Żelazowa Wola (eng. Steel Will), within months of his birth the Chopin family moved to Warsaw the capital of the Duchy, where Fryderyk grew up and learned to play; in 1815 the Duchy became the Kingdom of Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At the age of 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafterin the last 18 years of his lifehe gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his other musical contemporaries (including Robert Schumann). In 1835, when Chopin obtained French citizenship he became . After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska from 1836 to 1837, he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer Amantine Dupin (known by her pen name, George Sand). A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 183839 would prove one of his most productive periods of composition. In his final years, he was supported financially by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. For most of his life, Chopin was in poor health. He died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39, probably of pericarditis aggravated by tuberculosis. All of Chopin's compositions include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some 19 songs set to Polish lyrics. His piano writing was technically demanding and expanded the limits of the instrument: his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin invented the concept of the instrumental ballade. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only posthumously. Among the influences on his style of composition were Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J.S. Bach, Mozart, and Schubert, and the atmosphere of the Paris salons of which he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, harmony, and musical form, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period. Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest superstars, his (indirect) association with political insurrection, his high-profile love-life, and his early death have made him a leading symbol of the Romantic era. His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying historical fidelity.
