Finally memorizing the Beethoven "Les Adieux" Sonata. It's an interesting work, fairly late opus. The three movements are labeled - by the composer - "Goodbye", "Absence", "Return". It seems like a metaphor for the pandemic, so it bubbled to the top of my queue. It's also fascinating because it seems to sit at the crossroads of Classical style and the Romantic movement. It was rare for classical era composers to tell the player/listener what emotion a piece was to evoke.

Swift - I transitioned out of macOS and iOS development when Obj-C was sunsetting, so that wave swept by me.

Learn Ukrainian - I'm a native English-speaker and C1/C2 in Russian, but am completely stumped by Ukrainian - like "you sound like you're speaking something I should understand, but..."
- Tainnor 5y agoGood luck with the Beethoven. I really love his sonatas, but they're usually beyond my skill-level.
