for fun, I’m going to try to post one piece of classical music that has spooky vibes for each day of October—and to not use only pieces by Chopin, Scriabin, or Ravel

Day 1: Chopin’s Nocturne in G Minor, op.15/3

G minor, op. 15, n? 3

I too am an agnostic atheist! my mom is a gentile, and I was never bar mitzvahed—so technically I’m not a Jew. but I identify with many aspects of the culture. and everyone has always assumed I’m Jewish anyway (the NY accent, the looks, the demeanor), and they’re not *wrong*

Day 10: Sibelius, Tapiola

his last major composition, and he chose to go out on a decidedly dark note. respect

Sibelius: Tapiola, Op. 112

cinnamon-raisin is borderline. not a sin, but not quite righteous either

Italian-esque seasonings and bagels do not belong together.

and a bagel is not simply any variety of baked dough shaped like a ring.

cinnamon-sugar, blueberry, Italian herb, cheddar—these are goyische bagels and they’re morally wrong.

just as sweet grits are morally wrong.

just as quickly cooked collards are morally wrong.

sweet flavors and bagels do not belong together.

HERE FOR BAGEL DISCOURSE

there are right ways to make and consume bagels. and then there are wrong ways.

bagels are one of the few foods I will unapologetically get moralistic about.

I forgot to post this during the actual 8th of October. here it is, belatedly:

Day 8: Ravel, “Oiseaux tristes” from Miroirs

is it really about birds, or is it about those dark places in your heart that you don’t fully know
