I want to share this amazing video with you which I found at YouTube. This woman of 84 years old plays Liebesleid by Fritz Kreisler on the piano. She plays this beatiful piece of music with such a passion and soul, I just had to share it with you. It's beautiful.
Perfume Quotes
"A perfume must be more mysterious than a copy of something in nature. When a man sees a woman, he shouldn't think of a rose; he should think of that woman."Perfumer Jean Paul Guerlain on the philosophy of his grandfather Jacques Guerlain
"Perfume puts the finishing touch to elegance - a detail that subtly underscores the look, an invisible extra that completes a woman's personality. Without it there is something missing."Gianni Versace.
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousand of miles and all the years you have lived.
You can find and learn about yourself in scent. It is the shadow of a person's soul. Serge Lutens
Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.
"The quickest way to trigger an emotional response is with scent. Sigmund Freud
Capturing the flower, taking possession of its soul in order to transform it, is a way of uniting ourselves with the earth and of giving perfume its place in a mysterious and unique process...when perfume is worn by men and women, they ake on an essential role in this process. Jacques Polge
Perfume makes silence talk. Sonia Rykiel
Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed," I said. Coco Chanel
Perfume is a promise in a bottle. Sophia Grojsman

Marvellous, Jenny !
I had to use Mozilla Firefox in order to see it...
What a lady...
Oh, don't know why it doesn't work just without Firefox. I'm happy you was able to watch it anyway.
Yes, what a lady, did you see all the emotions in her face at the end of the video? It must feel wonderful if you can play piano like that.
That was simply amazing! And what a wonderful scent!
One of my favorite cds is by Edith Kraus playing piano concertos of Viktor Ullmann, a Czech composer murdered at Auschwitz. Eva was the first to play his 5th concerto at Theresienstadt in 1944. She survived the internment, and the recording I speak of was made when she was 83 years old. Her playing is pure poetry and passion. Similar to this video.
(I found your site searching for Fritz Kreisler).
Funny that you found this blog about perfume making while searching for Fritz Kreisler. Isn't it wonderful if you still can play like this at that age? I would love to hear the recording you speak of. Can it be found on the Internet?
Thanks for your comment.
- I got an error after sending my comment so I try again, just in case -
I would love to share the music with you, as I think the cd is not being made anymore. Please write to me at indeterminacy *at* gmail *dot* com, and we can try to work out how.
Great, I will write you a PM.
This calls to mind the following passionate poem, written by American poet Stanley Kunitz when he was well over 90 years old:
