I have four I feel like I gotta post. Here’s hoping I get to three more.
Time for some Russian pop
Does include some Latin and English though
It includes clips from live action Ghost in the Shell because it was the opening to its TV series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
No idea that this song was about global warming when I first heard it.
I is Impromptu #3 in G-flat D899, op90, composed by Franz Schubert in 1827
–my favorite recorded version
–version played live by Horowitz, notable because Horowitz plays the whole thing like he’s trying not to set off his neighbor’s motion-detecting porch lights
film trivia: this song was also played by a mutant pianist in Gattaca (“that piece can only be played by twelve fingers…”), which their lazy creative team justified by just splashing some extra high notes into the Schubert, and while it’s true that a human pianist would’ve needed at least two extra right-hand fingers to pull the Gattaca version off—and also a gruesome rectangular extendo-palm like american-werewolf-in-london guy—still, in the movie, when uma is finally given the pianist’s right glove there are only six fingers, so everything is dumb.
PS Schubert wrote seven other impromptus; the most famous is probably Impromptu #2 in E-flat, also D899, it’s pretty. And now that I’m listening I regret not making it the featured one.
