The first three are pleasantly pastoral while the penquins in the 3rd one were a hoot to watch. I'm a sucker for flatted sevenths so the 4th works too. And what can you say about some Chopin rounding up the whole set.

I studied strictly ballet from 5-15 and my Russian instructor had a penchant for Chopin that we did adagio to.

He tried to encourage me in considering going pro in NYC, but I chose not to.
