Beethoven and the rain

Instead of sitting inside to to do some errands online I sat on the porch in the rain.   While outside I listened to Beethoven Op. 101.

The sonata is one of my favorites as of late, along with Op. 110. After thinking about it, there are slow passages in both in the middle-upper register, which I find the most beautiful of all the tones on a piano.

Despite my recent foray into Russian music, Beethoven remains an ever present friend, especially in the rain.
