The best feeling ever...

... is certainly not love. No, no, no. It's when you thought you already had the entire output of a composer* you really like and then you suddenly realise that you've completely forgotten that Mendelssohn also wrote some pretty spiffy piano trios. And better yet, this is not just theoretical knowledge (for there is much music that exists, as yet, still only in manuscript form) - I found a great recording of said trios, and Naxos be praised, for a mere 59 rondts. Or, in international terms, about what I paid for two Pepsis at a Thames-side eatery in London a few weeks ago.

*Dead composer, I mean: So there's pretty much no chance he or she will be writing further wondrous works. Hmm. There may well be a market for the Undead Symphony or Eine Kleine Zombiemusik, but that's probably material for another post.
