I've been listening to Muse's latest album "The Resistance" a lot the past few weeks, and enjoying their ending to "United States of Eurasia", which is a portion of Frédéric Chopin's "Nocturne In E-Flat Major, Op.9 No.2". I love it when classical music just kind of springs up on me by surprise. In this case, with Muse's album, it has drawn me to the song, and ultimately to the original piece by Chopin. You might think it a cheap trick of Muse to include it, or perhaps an homage. Either way, you and I would probably not be listening to it now without Muse's influence, so I thank them for reminding me of it.
The performer of the rendition above is Arthur Rubinstein in 1965. I listened to portions of performances by several of the great pianists. Arthur Rubinstein's had a certain delicate nature that compliments the piece beautifully so I present to you.
