Les Impromptus de Schubert
Les notes de piano pleuvaient en gouttes rapides et serrées dans la conque spiralée de mon oreille. Elles s’accordaient à merveille avec le lavis gris du ciel et les cascades facétieuses des hirondelles.
Les vaguelettes rousses des toîts en étaient toutes éclaboussées.
Les maisons pointues du voisinage tendaient leurs lucarnes et les bras décharnés de leurs antennes vers ma fenêtre entrouverte pour mieux entendre les arpèges allègres des touches noires et blanches.
Au loin, la silhouette délavée de la montagne effilochait les dentelles du soir.
Une tisane de lavande ajoutait ses exhalaisons bleutées à l’atmosphère cotonneuse de ma chambre.
Ma rue était déserte, hormis quelques roses blanches qui penchaient la tête avec recueillement sous la caresse enivrante de la mélodie primesautière de Schubert. Ou peut être sous le poids de la nuit tombante et de l’averse lancinante de ce mois de mai martyr. Qui pourrait le dire ? — Mat Fauve

Hands according to composers
Credit to Redditor NeokratosRed !!
Idea explanation:
Chopin: mixer because he reminds me of one sometimes. Example. Scriabin: he has written a lot of pieces for the left hand alone and he injured the right hand. Rachmaninoff: He had really big hands. Really big. Liszt: he sometimes reaches notes at the other side of the piano. Ravel: he has delicate, water hands and very often the left and right hand play on top of each other. Beethoven: he is powerful and this is also a reference to the hammerklavier Satie: his touch is very gentle and it sounds like he is playing with gloves. Boulez: Just to give you an idea. Cage: the 'no hands' is a joke for 4'33'' and the objects on the keyboard are a reference to his prepared pianos. Feldman: most of his compositions use just a few notes. Mozart: Rolling pins because of all the scales. Schubert: A lot of his pieces have very articulated right hand passages that go back and forth like a wheel and really easy left hand ones. Bach: robot hands because he was so structured and calculating in his pieces. (Side note: amazing book) Debussy: really soft touch, just like feathers. Glass: Pendulum and metronome because of his style that led him to be very technical, a bit like Bach, but it's more complicated than that. Bartok: drum beaters because of the power of some of his compositions.
Trời khuya, vui bước bên đường Catinat Người đi, còn năm ba khách không nhà Ngàn mây sao chiếu trên trời đầy mơ Hàng cây lặng im nghe gió dưới trăng mờ Còn kia, vài ba búp bê đang nhìn Ngồi im và vương mắt trông xa mơ hồ Tình duyên say đắm trên lầu đèn trèo Tỉnh mê, còn ai đang đứng bên lề Hồn tôi vi vút đi tìm hồn thơ
Trần Văn Trạch, Đêm khuya trên đường Catinat
Một bài hát về Sài Gòn thời Pháp Thuộc rất đẹp, rất sang.
Đường Catinat được nhà báo Lucien Bodard ví như cái cuống rốn của Sài Gòn thời Pháp Thuộc [1]. Thời Việt Nam Cộng Hòa, đường Catinat đổi tên thành đường Tự Do. Sau The Fall of Saigon, đường Tự Do trở thành đường Đồng Khởi (mà đến ngày nay nhiều người hay truyền miệng câu thơ châm biếm: "Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa tiêu Công Lý, Đồng Khởi lên rồi mất Tự Do.”) Chứng kiến nhiều biến cố của Sài Gòn, đường Catinat - đường Tự Do ngày xưa, hay đường Đồng Khởi ngày nay - vẫn “thảnh thơi nằm nghe”[2] cái nhịp sống rất riêng của mảnh đất này.
Ít ai biết “quái kiệt” Trần Văn Trạch là em ruột của Giáo sư Trần Văn Khuê.

Elle m'a dit d'aller siffler là-haut sur la colline De l'attendre avec un petit bouquet d'églantines J'ai cueilli des fleurs et j'ai sifflé tant que j'ai pu J'ai attendu, attendu, elle n'est jamais venue.
Joe Dassin, Siffler sur la colline
French Covers of English Songs
I’ve seen posts about French songs and French Disney songs, but there are also lots of French covers of famous songs that are originally sung in English, and I don’t think they’ve been mentioned on tumblr before (within the langblr community at least), so here’s a not-so-comprehensive list I compiled:
Photograph - Ed Sheeran (cover by Kéo)
Hello - Adele (cover by Sara’h)
All of Me - John Legend (cover by Sara’h)
7 Years - Lukas Graham (cover by Chloé Stafler)
Diamonds - Rihanna (cover by Exo)
I Hate You, I Love You - Gnash ft. Olivia O’brien (cover by Sara’h)
See You Again - Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth (cover by Marvin Dupuis)
Chandelier - Sia (cover by Natacha Adréani)
All I Want - Kodaline (cover by Djodie Grz)
All these songs are in French; of course the lyrics aren’t exactly the same but they’re pretty close the originals (well, the ones I’ve heard at least; I’ve yet to check out the entire list… I did hear at least a snippet of each song though).
I wrote the English titles instead of the French ones so that you can easily recognize the songs. Each of these artists has many more French covers so be sure to check out their channels.
Also, I made a PLAYLIST right here where I put all the covers I found (the ones that sounded reasonable at least) and I’ll keep adding to it. Or you could just search Youtube for “french cover songs” or “cover français” and you’ll get a whole bunch of songs and playlists as well. Enjoy ;)
deep in the times of yore, beyond the scale of mortals there lived THE TAPEMASTER in their fortress atop MT BBULLS SHIHIT where they crafted MELODIC MESTERPIECES from their LABORATORY. Many arose to challenge THE TAPEMASTER and their many enemies drove them across THE SAHARA DESERT in pursuit of THE MACGUFFIN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY the end (or is it dun dun dun)

Hommage à Tryo
Désolé pour hier soir Je croyais avoir la main verte mais ce que l'on sème comme le Touareg, n'est pas à vendre Ta réalité a besoin d'une balade en forêt Regardez-les dans les nuages Ils te saluent ô ! du haut de leur suprématie Apocalypticodramatic ! « Serre-moi ! » qu'elle disait Car un homme qui aime les femmes ne s'ennuie guère la première fois Mais une femme qui aime les hommes on appelle ça comment ? La misère d'en face a-t-elle un nom ? Mrs Roy, Abdallâh... Venez vous servir dans la Pompafric Faites l'amour, mais pas la guerre, dans le pétrole Pendant que l'Angola se viole Plus on en fait, plus le temps passe Ce temps, cette saison de trop à l'air du plastique, Passe trop vite comme une poussière d'étoile Bye bye, Mam'zelle Bulle ! Sortez-les pendant qu'il est encore temps Allez rejoindre Jocelyne elle vous attend chez Yakamonéyé Aujourd'hui, c'est pas pareil car j'ai un but dans la vie : L'hymne de nos campagnes résonne à mes oreilles Merci France Télécom Le petit chose a eu sa récréaction et Mr Bibendum s'amuse avec la révolution Le temps d'un flirt avec la crise Je suis con par raison J'aime marcher droit sans travers Pour travailler plus au nom du G8 Les extrêmes un jour, ce sera toi et moi C'est ça être français ? J'en doute...
