So Much Sheet Music

Just got back from Taiwan (didn't have internet access, which explains the recent paucity of posts)! In 台北I got to go to a sheet music store, called 大陆书店。They had so much music, and it was quite decently priced. I was like a kid in a candy store, except I'm 20 (still a kid, then) and in a music store, haha. I got enough to keep me busy for... quite a while, I'd say:


In case that's too small to read, that's Schumann's piano concerto, Mozart piano concertos 9, 19, 21 and 24, Beethoven piano concertos 4 and 5, Haydn's D major piano concerto, Bach's E major piano concerto (transcribed from F major for Oboe? It's BWV1053), The Goldberg Variations, Debussy's Children's Corner suite, Mozart fantasias and rondos, Busoni's transcription of Bach's second violin partita's fifth movement, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words. All the concertos (and the Gershwin) are first piano plus second piano orchestra reduction editions!

And here's all the piano music they had:


:D

Going to Taiwan! (+ Random Stuff)

I leave tomorrow morning. Friday was my last day at Baidu! I'll post a link to the project once it goes up (Monday?).

Also here's a great recent article of my mom's. And here's a good one of my dad's, for good measure.

And an awesome blend of math and cooking (courtesy of I Love Charts):
