Reprinted from the Scarlett Fever. I do not particularly like people being able to see though my clothes, nor do I enjoy being groped during a pat-down.

Mozart’s contemporary Joseph Haydn once said this about him: “posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years.” The extent to which this prediction was right is controversial, because along came Beethoven followed by Chopin in a couple of decades.

Empty Bowls is a project that calls…

I was on Twitter the other day, reading this awesome YouTuber, Meekakitty’s tweets, and one caught my eye: “WHY AREN’T THE BEATLES ON ITUNES?!” So I decided to investigate this. Sure enough, I checked on iTunes and the Beatles were nowhere to be found! This…

While browsing through the latest collection of posts from my fellow bloggers, I chanced upon one by Tonny. The blog referred to the article published by Macleans named “Too Asian.” Within a few minutes, years of collected respect for the magazine was lost and Macleans was reduced to the same level as money-grabbing tabloids.

The Four Seasons, the most popular Baroque music in history, was composed by Antonio Vivaldi in 1723. He was an Italian Baroque composer who was born in 1678 in Venice. He is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin. While I was researching The Four seasons, the beautiful melody and themes entranced…
