The Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 65, was written by Frédéric Chopin in 1846. It is one of only nine works of Chopin published during his lifetime that were written for instruments other than piano (although the piano still appears in every work he wrote). Chopin composed four sonatas, the others being piano sonatas. The cello sonata was the last of Chopin’s works to be published in his lifetime.

Opening bars of the sonata.

The sonata was written for and dedicated to Auguste Franchomme. The sonata is remarkable for the concentration of its material: much of the music of the first movement grows out of the cello’s opening statement, and certain theme-shapes appear in all its movements. The last three movements were first publicly performed by Franchomme and Chopin at the composer’s last public concert, at the Salle Pleyel on 16 February 1848.

Now that it’s no longer possible to experience OTAM as a “dose a day” math fix, I figured I’d try to get around to making a somewhat more accessible organizational scheme. This post is obviously something of a hack, but it was good enough for printed books for hundreds of years it can be good enough for little old OTAM. I’ve split post this into two parts: 

First comes a list of significant tags. This means reasonably small collections of posts but contain a high density of the most interesting posts. Within a tag, except for the 

And second, underneath a readmore, comes a list of posts (or drafted posts) which are significant in their own right but cannot be easily found from the tags. [The eight posts in this list marked with stars and italics are, in my opinion, the absolute highlights of this blog.]

“It wasn’t until my older sister admitted to me that she had always felt a smudge of jealousy of my role in our family that I realized I was privileged…privileged compared to my very own sister. And by “role in my family” I mean that my sister perceived me to be the perfect traditional daughter who would someday be married to a man and have biological children and make my parents happy grandparents. 

Hey guys! Movies helped me a lot to improve my French. I love French movies and French cinema and now I wanna share a few of my favorite movies and must-sees with you! I hope they’ll help you!

La peau douce (a bit older, about a man who has an affair with a young girl, black&white, a bit dramatic)

La vie d’Adèle (LESBIANS!)

If you want to see the whole flowchart in one image, download it here.

Creating this flowchart has required me choose what to include and what to leave out. If you think that I have missed something, I’d be happy to hear from you, but please read the comments first, in case I had excluded that information for a ­reason.

This project has been made so much easier thanks to the Sherlock timeline at bakerstreet.wikia.com and the wonderful transcripts by @callie-ariane. Go look them up at arianedevere.livejournal.com!

Thank you to my wonderful proof reader @wetislandinthenorthatlantic!

I have completely lost track of who is discussing what in the aftermath of s4, but I’ll tag a few people under the cut anyway, hoping that you are interested. Let me know if you don’t want to be tagged in the future!
